### sec.21 Radiation practices involving use or storage of unsealed radioactive substances— Act , s 28 This section applies in relation to a radiation practice that involves the use or storage of unsealed radioactive substances at premises. For section 28 (6) of the Act , definition radiation safety and protection measures , the following measures are prescribed— monitoring the premises, and persons and things at the premises, to detect or minimise contamination of the premises, persons or things; safe management at the premises of contaminated cleanable things used in carrying out the radiation practice before the removal of the cleanable things from the premises for cleaning; safe management at the premises of waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice before its disposal; minimising the amount of waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice. The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (a) includes the following details— how the premises are to be monitored; how persons at the premises are to be monitored; how things at the premises are to be monitored; the monitoring equipment, having the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response appropriate to the contamination to be monitored, that is to be used. The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (b) includes the following details— how the contaminated cleanable things at the premises are to be stored before removal from the premises for cleaning; the period for which the contaminated cleanable things at the premises are to be stored before removal from the premises for cleaning. The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (c) includes each of the following details— how the waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice is to be dealt with before its disposal; the method to be used to minimise the activity of the radionuclide in, and volume of, the waste radioactive material; if the waste radioactive material is to be stored—how the waste radioactive material is to be sorted for storage, having regard to— its half-life, volume, and physical and chemical properties; and the concentration of the radionuclide in the material. The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (d) includes details about how the amount of the waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice is to be minimised. In this section— cleanable thing , at premises, means a thing that, to be cleaned, needs to be removed from the premises. contamination , of a person, premises or thing, means the lodgement, attachment or incorporation of radioactive material on, to or in the person, premises or thing. (sec.21-ssec.1) This section applies in relation to a radiation practice that involves the use or storage of unsealed radioactive substances at premises. (sec.21-ssec.2) For section 28 (6) of the Act , definition radiation safety and protection measures , the following measures are prescribed— monitoring the premises, and persons and things at the premises, to detect or minimise contamination of the premises, persons or things; safe management at the premises of contaminated cleanable things used in carrying out the radiation practice before the removal of the cleanable things from the premises for cleaning; safe management at the premises of waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice before its disposal; minimising the amount of waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice. (sec.21-ssec.3) The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (a) includes the following details— how the premises are to be monitored; how persons at the premises are to be monitored; how things at the premises are to be monitored; the monitoring equipment, having the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response appropriate to the contamination to be monitored, that is to be used. (sec.21-ssec.4) The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (b) includes the following details— how the contaminated cleanable things at the premises are to be stored before removal from the premises for cleaning; the period for which the contaminated cleanable things at the premises are to be stored before removal from the premises for cleaning. (sec.21-ssec.5) The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (c) includes each of the following details— how the waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice is to be dealt with before its disposal; the method to be used to minimise the activity of the radionuclide in, and volume of, the waste radioactive material; if the waste radioactive material is to be stored—how the waste radioactive material is to be sorted for storage, having regard to— its half-life, volume, and physical and chemical properties; and the concentration of the radionuclide in the material. (sec.21-ssec.6) The measure prescribed under subsection (2) (d) includes details about how the amount of the waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice is to be minimised. (sec.21-ssec.7) In this section— cleanable thing , at premises, means a thing that, to be cleaned, needs to be removed from the premises. contamination , of a person, premises or thing, means the lodgement, attachment or incorporation of radioactive material on, to or in the person, premises or thing. - (a) monitoring the premises, and persons and things at the premises, to detect or minimise contamination of the premises, persons or things; - (b) safe management at the premises of contaminated cleanable things used in carrying out the radiation practice before the removal of the cleanable things from the premises for cleaning; - (c) safe management at the premises of waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice before its disposal; - (d) minimising the amount of waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice. - (a) how the premises are to be monitored; - (b) how persons at the premises are to be monitored; - (c) how things at the premises are to be monitored; - (d) the monitoring equipment, having the sensitivity, accuracy, range and energy response appropriate to the contamination to be monitored, that is to be used. - (a) how the contaminated cleanable things at the premises are to be stored before removal from the premises for cleaning; - (b) the period for which the contaminated cleanable things at the premises are to be stored before removal from the premises for cleaning. - (a) how the waste radioactive material produced in carrying out the radiation practice is to be dealt with before its disposal; - (b) the method to be used to minimise the activity of the radionuclide in, and volume of, the waste radioactive material; - (c) if the waste radioactive material is to be stored—how the waste radioactive material is to be sorted for storage, having regard to— (i) its half-life, volume, and physical and chemical properties; and (ii) the concentration of the radionuclide in the material. - (i) its half-life, volume, and physical and chemical properties; and - (ii) the concentration of the radionuclide in the material. - (i) its half-life, volume, and physical and chemical properties; and - (ii) the concentration of the radionuclide in the material.
