Reciprocity
Any organization or individual intending to possess or use radioactive materials in Minnesota must obtain reciprocity approval.
The Minnesota Department of Health reciprocity application must specify the types and quantities of radioactive materials, dates and location of use in Minnesota. The license holder must follow the specific license requirements on their license as well as the Minnesota Radioactive Materials Rules, Chapter 4731. Minnesota Department of Health may request additional information as necessary.
