Any proceeding under this chapter to issue or modify rules, including emergency orders
relating to control of sources of ionizing radiation; grant, suspend, revoke, or amend any license;
or determine compliance with rules of the department must be conducted in accordance with
chapter 28-32. If an emergency exists requiring immediate action to protect the public health
and safety, the department may, without notice or hearing, issue an order reciting the existence
of such emergency and requiring action necessary to meet the emergency be taken.
Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, the order must be effective immediately. A person
to which the order is directed shall comply with the order immediately, but may apply to the
department for a hearing. The department shall provide the hearing within ten days of the
application. On the basis of such hearing, the emergency order must be continued, modified, or
revoked within thirty days after such hearing.
