#### 11 Nuclear installation—prescribed activity level for facilities for production of radioisotopes
(1) For paragraph (d) of the definition of nuclear installation in section 13 of the Act, the activity level, for a facility for production of radioisotopes, is:
(a) if the facility contains, or is designed to contain, unsealed sources—the level at which the result worked out for the unsealed sources using the steps mentioned in subregulation (2) is 106; or
(b) if the facility contains, or is designed to contain, sealed sources—the level at which the result worked out for the sealed sources using the steps mentioned in subregulation (2) is 1010.
> Note: Under section 13 of the Act, a facility for production of radioisotopes with an activity that is greater than the activity level prescribed is a nuclear installation.
(2) For paragraphs (1)(a) and (b), the steps are:
(a) divide the activity of each nuclide in the sources by the activity value mentioned in an item in the table in clause 2 of Schedule 2 for the nuclide; and
(b) if there is more than 1 nuclide in the sources—add the result for each nuclide worked out under paragraph (a).
