Atomic Energy Licensing (Exemption) (Low Activity Radioactive Material) Order 2002

1. Citation. This order may be cited as the Atomic Energy Licensing (Exemption) (Low Activity Radioactive Material) Order 2002.

2. Interpretation. In this Order, unless the context otherwise requires, "low activity radioactive material" means check source, calibration source and reference source that will not cause radiological risk to a person either by external exposure or internal exposure or both.

3. Exemption. Every person who has in his possession or is dealing with any low activity radioactive material is exempted from the provisions of the Act subject to the following conditions: (a) that the activity concentration per unit weight (Bq/gm) of the low activity radioactive material does not exceed the value as specified in the Table; (b) that the activity (Bq) of the low activity radioactive material does not exceed the value as specified in the Table; and (c) that the total effective dose estimated to the public is less than 44247

4. Revocation. The Atomic Energy Licensing (Exemption) (Ceramic Factory) Order 1998 [P.U. (A) 431/98] is revoked.
