Okla. Stat. tit. 27A, § 27A-2-9-102

As used in the Radiation Management Act:

1. "Atomic energy" means all forms of energy released in the

course of nuclear fission or nuclear transformation;

2. "By-product material" means any radioactive material, except

special nuclear material, yielded in or made radioactive by exposure

to the ionizing radiation incident to the process of producing or

utilizing special nuclear materials;

3. "Production facility" means:

a. any equipment or device determined under authority of

the federal Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, to

be capable of the production of special nuclear

material in such quantity as to be of significance to

the common defense and security, or in such manner as

to affect the health and safety of the public, or

b. any important component part especially designed for

such equipment or device;

4. "Special nuclear material" means:

a. plutonium, uranium 233, uranium enriched in the

isotope 233 or in the isotope 235, and any other

material which is determined to be special nuclear

material under authority of the federal Atomic Energy

Act of 1954, as amended, but does not include source

material, or

b. any material artificially enriched by any of the

foregoing, but does not include source material;

5. "Utilization facility" means:

a. any equipment or device, except an atomic or nuclear

weapon, as determined under authority of the federal

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, to be capable

of making use of special nuclear materials in such

quantity as to be of significance to the common

defense and security or in such manner as to affect

the health and safety of the public, or peculiarly

adapted for making use of atomic energy in such

quantity as to be of significance to the common

defense and security or in such manner as to affect

the health and safety of the public, or

b. any important component part especially designed for

such equipment or device;

6. "Ionizing radiation" means any electromagnetic or

particulate radiation capable of producing ions, directly or

indirectly, in its passage through matter, such as alpha particles,

beta particles, gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, high-speed electrons,

high-speed protons, and other atomic particles, but not sound or

radio waves, or visible, infrared, or ultraviolet light;

7. "Nonionizing radiation" means radiation in any portion of

the electromagnetic spectrum not defined as ionizing radiation, and

at energy levels which may reasonably be expected to cause bodily

harm, including, but not limited to, emissions from such sources as

lasers, microwave and ultraviolet devices;

8. "Radiation" means ionizing and nonionizing radiation;

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 27A. Environment and Natural Resources Page 218

9. "Source of radiation" means any radioactive material or any

instrument or material capable of producing or emitting radiation as

defined in the preceding paragraph;

10. "Radiation hazard" is any condition that could, with

reasonable expectation, result in harmful radiation exposure in such

manner as to affect the health and safety of the public and the

environment;

11. "Source material" means:

a. uranium or thorium, or any combination thereof, in any

physical or chemical form, or

b. ores which contain by weight one-twentieth of one

percent (1/20 of 1%) or more of uranium, thorium, or

any combination thereof.

Source material does not include special nuclear material;

12. "Diagnostic x-ray facility" means the use of an x-ray

system(s) by a facility in any procedure that involves irradiation

of any part of a human or animal body for the purpose of diagnosis;

13. "Electronic product radiation" means:

a. any ionizing or nonionizing electromagnetic or

particulate radiation, or

b. any sonic, infrasonic, or ultrasonic wave, which is

emitted from an electronic product as the result of

the operation of an electronic circuit in such
a facility in any procedure that involves irradiation

of any part of a human or animal body for the purpose of diagnosis;

13. "Electronic product radiation" means:

a. any ionizing or nonionizing electromagnetic or

particulate radiation, or

b. any sonic, infrasonic, or ultrasonic wave, which is

emitted from an electronic product as the result of

the operation of an electronic circuit in such

product; and

14. "Electronic product" means:

a. any manufactured or assembled product which, when in

operation:

(1) contains or acts as part of an electronic

circuit, and

(2) emits, or would emit in the absence of effective

shielding or other controls, electronic product

radiation, or

b. any manufactured or assembled article which is

intended for use as a component, part, or accessory of

a product described in subparagraph a of this

definition and which, when in operation, emits (or in

the absence of effective shielding would emit) such

radiation.
