(2) The department may provide by contract, agreement, lease, or license with any person for the decontamination, closure, decommissioning, reclamation, surveillance, or other care of a site or facility subject to this section, as needed to carry out the purpose of this section.

(3) The existence of the Radiation Protection Trust Fund does not make the department liable for the costs of decontamination, transfer, transportation, reclamation, surveillance, or disposal of radioactive material arising from a licensee's abandonment of radioactive material, default on lawful obligations, insolvency, or inability to meet the requirements of the department.
