### sec.20 Radiation monitoring equipment for particular radiation practices involving ionising radiation sources— Act , s 28 This section applies in relation to a radiation practice involving the use of an ionising radiation source, other than— the use of an ionising radiation apparatus for— a diagnostic procedure involving the irradiation of a person; or chemical analysis; or the use of a sealed source apparatus for chemical analysis; or the use of a cabinet radiation apparatus or an enclosed radiation apparatus for its intended purpose. For section 28 (6) of the Act , definition radiation safety and protection measures , the measures prescribed are— supply by the possession licensee of radiation monitoring equipment for use by persons while involved in carrying out the radiation practice; and if the radiation monitoring equipment is repaired or suspected to have been damaged—that the equipment is not used unless it is first checked for sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response. The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (a) includes the following details about the radiation monitoring equipment— how the equipment is to be used; the operational checks to be undertaken by the persons before each use of the equipment to ensure it is working correctly; the equipment, having the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response appropriate to the radiation source, that is to be used; how the possession licensee is to ensure the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response of the equipment to be used are maintained; the interval, of not more than 1 year, at which the equipment is to be checked for sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response; the person who is to check the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response of the equipment, described by reference to the abilities of the person to perform the task. The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (b) includes details of the person who is to check the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response of the radiation monitoring equipment, described by reference to the abilities of the person to perform the task. In this section— radiation monitoring equipment means equipment that measures the amount of radiation emitted from radioactive substances or ionising radiation apparatus in a particular period. (sec.20-ssec.1) This section applies in relation to a radiation practice involving the use of an ionising radiation source, other than— the use of an ionising radiation apparatus for— a diagnostic procedure involving the irradiation of a person; or chemical analysis; or the use of a sealed source apparatus for chemical analysis; or the use of a cabinet radiation apparatus or an enclosed radiation apparatus for its intended purpose. (sec.20-ssec.2) For section 28 (6) of the Act , definition radiation safety and protection measures , the measures prescribed are— supply by the possession licensee of radiation monitoring equipment for use by persons while involved in carrying out the radiation practice; and if the radiation monitoring equipment is repaired or suspected to have been damaged—that the equipment is not used unless it is first checked for sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response. (sec.20-ssec.3) The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (a) includes the following details about the radiation monitoring equipment— how the equipment is to be used; the operational checks to be undertaken by the persons before each use of the equipment to ensure it is working correctly; the equipment, having the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response appropriate to the radiation source, that is to be used; how the possession licensee is to ensure the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response of the equipment to be used are maintained; the interval, of not more than 1 year, at which the equipment is to be checked for sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response; the person who is to check the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response of the equipment, described by reference to the abilities of the person to perform the task. (sec.20-ssec.4) The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (b) includes details of the person who is to check the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response of the radiation monitoring equipment, described by reference to the abilities of the person to perform the task. (sec.20-ssec.5) In this section— radiation monitoring equipment means equipment that measures the amount of radiation emitted from radioactive substances or ionising radiation apparatus in a particular period. - (a) the use of an ionising radiation apparatus for— (i) a diagnostic procedure involving the irradiation of a person; or (ii) chemical analysis; or - (i) a diagnostic procedure involving the irradiation of a person; or - (ii) chemical analysis; or - (b) the use of a sealed source apparatus for chemical analysis; or - (c) the use of a cabinet radiation apparatus or an enclosed radiation apparatus for its intended purpose. - (i) a diagnostic procedure involving the irradiation of a person; or - (ii) chemical analysis; or - (a) supply by the possession licensee of radiation monitoring equipment for use by persons while involved in carrying out the radiation practice; and - (b) if the radiation monitoring equipment is repaired or suspected to have been damaged—that the equipment is not used unless it is first checked for sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response. - (a) how the equipment is to be used; - (b) the operational checks to be undertaken by the persons before each use of the equipment to ensure it is working correctly; - (c) the equipment, having the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response appropriate to the radiation source, that is to be used; - (d) how the possession licensee is to ensure the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response of the equipment to be used are maintained; - (e) the interval, of not more than 1 year, at which the equipment is to be checked for sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response; - (f) the person who is to check the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response of the equipment, described by reference to the abilities of the person to perform the task.
