    The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the citizens of the State of  New Jersey are entitled to the maximum protection practicable from the harmful  effects of excessive and improper exposure to ionizing radiation; that the  protection can be increased by requiring appropriate training and experience of  persons operating medical equipment emitting ionizing radiation and requiring  them to operate the equipment under the specific direction of a licensed  practitioner;  and that it is therefore necessary to establish standards of  education, training and experience for these operators and to provide for the  appropriate examination and certification thereof.
