When storing your gauge in another state, what must be obtained?

When storing your gauge in another state, reciprocity approval must be obtained. Reciprocity approval is crucial because it ensures that the laws and regulations governing the use and storage of nuclear gauges in the state where the gauge is being stored align with those of the state where the gauge is normally used. In many cases, different states have varying regulations regarding the handling, use, and storage of radioactive materials, including nuclear gauges.

Obtaining reciprocity approval helps prevent legal complications and ensures compliance with both states' safety standards and legal requirements. This is particularly important in fields that involve radioactive materials, as adhering to safety protocols protects both the user and the public. Additionally, failure to obtain the necessary approval could result in fines or the confiscation of the gauge, thus stressing the importance of this requirement.
