(6) “Radiation machine” means an apparatus which produces or may produce when the associated controls are operated, one (1) or more forms of radiation;
(7) “Radiation source” includes material which emits radiation spontaneously, or apparatus which produces, or may produce when the associated controls are operated, one (1) or more forms of radiation;
(8) “Radioactive material” refers to any material, solid, liquid or gas, which emits radiation spontaneously;
