### sec.25 Person must not relocate a radiation source without approval
A person must not relocate a radiation source from a place in Queensland to a place outside Queensland (whether in or outside Australia), unless the person is a possession licensee for the source and the holder of an approval to relocate the source.
Maximum penalty—
for a radiation source that is not a security enhanced source—400 penalty units; or
