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.
