(1) For paragraph 31(1)(b) of the Act, a dealing that is described in an item in the table in clause 1 of Schedule 2 is an exempt dealing.
(3) However, the CEO may declare, in writing, on a case by case basis, that a dealing described in an item in the table in clause 1 of Schedule 2 is a dealing for which:
(a) the annual effective dose to an individual during normal operations is likely to be greater than 10 micro.Sv; or
(b) an accident, misuse or exceptional circumstance affecting the dealing is likely to produce a dose greater than the effective dose limit worked out under regulation 59 or 60.
> Note: A decision to refuse to make a declaration is reviewable under regulation 66.
(4) A dealing mentioned in a declaration under subregulation (3) is not exempt.
(5) Also, the CEO may declare, in writing, on a case by case basis, that a dealing that is not described in an item in the table in clause 1 of Schedule 2 is a dealing for which:
