(b) Compliance with specific standards to be promulgated by the State Board of Health.

3. The State Board of Health may exempt certain sources of ionizing radiation, or kinds of uses or users of such sources, from the licensing or registration requirements set forth in this section if the Board makes a finding that the exemption of such sources of ionizing radiation, or kinds of uses or users of such sources, will not constitute a significant risk to the health and safety of the public.
