(d) An individual who is identified as an authorized user, an authorized nuclear pharmacist, authorized medical physicist, or ophthalmic physicist:
(i) On an agreement state or NRC license or other equivalent license recognized by the department that authorizes the use of radioactive material in medical use or in the practice of nuclear pharmacy; or

(iii) On a permit issued by NRC master material licensee that is licensed to authorize the use of radioactive material in medical use or in the practice of nuclear pharmacy; or
(iv) By a commercial nuclear pharmacy that has been licensed to authorize nuclear pharmacists.
(3) Changes radiation safety officers, except as provided in WAC 246-240-051;
