Division 3—Registration of premises, sealed radioactive sources and radiation apparatus 19—Premises in which unsealed radioactive materials are handled or kept (1) For the purposes of section 25(2) of the Act, the following classes of premises are prescribed: (a) premises in which radioactive materials are stored in transit during the course of transport in accordance with the Act and these regulations; (b) premises in which unsealed radioactive materials are kept or handled in the course of developmental testing operations, operations for or in relation to mining or mineral processing, or operations of a kind referred to in section 19(1) of the Act, being operations authorised by a radiation management licence; (c) premises in which unsealed radioactive ores that have not been subject to chemical processing are handled or kept in quantities of less than 100 kilograms; (d) any other class of premises determined by the Minister by notice in the Gazette. (2) For the purposes of section 25(2) of the Act, the following classes of substances are prescribed: (a) the unsealed radioactive materials listed in Schedule 4 clause 2, in the specified circumstances; (b) an unsealed radioactive material that is a prescribed low risk radioactive material; (c) an unsealed radioactive material that is a surface contaminant on an object and the activity of a radioactive element or compound contained in the radioactive material does not exceed the prescribed amount under regulation 8(2). 20—Sealed radioactive sources For the purposes of section 26(3) of the Act, the following classes of sealed radioactive sources are prescribed: (a) sealed radioactive sources listed in Schedule 4 clause 2, in the specified circumstances; (b) sealed radioactive sources held within a facility the operations of which are authorised by a radiation management licence; (c) sealed radioactive sources that are held only as stock for the purposes of sale and are not used; (d) sealed radioactive sources that have been let out on hire for a period of 3 months or less and in respect of which the person receiving the source on hire holds a radiation management licence; (e) a sealed radioactive source that is a prescribed low risk radioactive material; (f) a sealed radioactive source containing Tritium and held within a registered radiation apparatus; (g) a sealed radioactive source that replaces a decayed sealed radioactive source in a registrable device, where— (i) the replaced source remains registered under section 26 of the Act by the original registered owner; and (ii) the half-life of the sealed radioactive source is less than 120 days and is of the same chemical and physical form as the source it is replacing; and (iii) a register of the sealed radioactive sources for the registrable device (which must include the serial numbers of the registrable device and sources) is maintained by the registered owner; (h) any other class of sealed radioactive sources determined by the Minister by notice in the Gazette. 21—Radiation apparatus (1) For the purposes of section 27(2) of the Act, the following classes of apparatus are prescribed: (a) ionising radiation apparatus that produces ionising radiation incidental to its function (including electron microscopes and apparatus containing a cathode ray tube or an electronic valve) if the apparatus does not, in normal operating conditions, cause an equivalent dose rate exceeding 1 µSv/h at a distance of 0.1 m from any accessible surface of the apparatus; (b) ionising radiation apparatus made incapable of operation; (c) ionising radiation apparatus manufactured in this State that has never been sold, let on hire or loaned out; (d) ionising radiation apparatus held as stock for sale by a person who has complied with regulation 36 (other than apparatus operated by another person and located at premises of a person who has not complied with that regulation); (e) ionising radiation apparatus that has been let out on hire for a period of 3 months or less and in respect of which the person receiving the apparatus on hire holds a radiation management licence; (f) ionising radiation apparatus being installed by a person who has complied with regulation 36; (g) apparatus listed in Schedule 4 clause 1; (h) any other class of apparatus determined by the Minister by notice in the Gazette. (2) For the purposes of this regulation, apparatus is incapable of operation if it would require specialist knowledge to make it operable.
