Radiation Safety Regulation 1999

Queensland Radiation Safety Act 1999 Radiation Safety Regulation 1999 Reprinted as in force on 30 July 2010 Reprint No. 5D This reprint is prepared by the Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel Warning—This reprint is not an authorised copy NOT FURTHER AMENDED LAST REPRINT BEFORE REPEAL See 2010 SL No. 240 s 95

Information about this reprint This regulation is reprinted as at 30 July 2010. The reprint— • shows the law as amended by all amendments that commenced on or before that day (Reprints Act 1992 s 5(c)) • incorporates all necessary consequential amendments, whether of punctuation, numbering or another kind (Reprints Act 1992 s 5(d)). The reprint includes a reference to the law by which each amendment was made—see list of legislation and list of annotations in endnotes. Also see list of legislation for any uncommenced amendments. This page is specific to this reprint. See previous reprints for information about earlier changes made under the Reprints Act 1992. A table of reprints is included in the endnotes. Also see endnotes for information about— • when provisions commenced • editorial changes made in earlier reprints. Spelling The spelling of certain words or phrases may be inconsistent in this reprint or with other reprints because of changes made in various editions of the Macquarie Dictionary (for example, in the dictionary, ‘lodgement’ has replaced ‘lodgment’). Variations of spelling will be updated in the next authorised reprint. Dates shown on reprints Reprints dated at last amendment All reprints produced on or after 1 July 2002, authorised (that is, hard copy) and unauthorised (that is, electronic), are dated as at the last date of amendment. Previously reprints were dated as at the date of publication. If an authorised reprint is dated earlier than an unauthorised version published before 1 July 2002, it means the legislation was not further amended and the reprint date is the commencement of the last amendment. If the date of an authorised reprint is the same as the date shown for an unauthorised version previously published, it merely means that the unauthorised version was published before the authorised version. Also, any revised edition of the previously published unauthorised version will have the same date as that version. Replacement reprint date If the date of an authorised reprint is the same as the date shown on another authorised reprint it means that one is the replacement of the other.

(2) In this section— accessible surface , of an apparatus, means a surface of the apparatus that may easily be touched. 7 Apparatus emitting non-ionising radiation—Act, sch 2, definition radiation apparatus For paragraphs (c) and (d) of the definition of radiation apparatus in schedule 2 of the Act— (a) a laser that could reasonably be used to carry out a diagnostic, therapeutic or cosmetic procedure involving the irradiation of a person is an apparatus; and (b) the amount for the laser is the accessible emission limit, for a class 3B laser for the relevant period, stated in, and measured in accordance with, the laser standard. Division 2A Security enhanced source 7A What is a security enhanced source (1) This section prescribes what is a security enhanced source for the Act, schedule 2, definition security enhanced source . (2) A sealed radioactive substance or aggregation of sealed radioactive substances is a security enhanced source if it is classified as security category 1, 2 or 3 under schedule 1A, part 1 according to its activity ratio. Reprint 5D effective 30 July 2010 Page 9

Radiation Safety Regulation 1999 Part 2 Radiation sources and sealed source apparatus [s 8] (3) For subsection (2), the activity ratio of a sealed radioactive substance is worked out by the following formula— activity ratio = R ----- AA ---- V --- where— A means the activity of the radionuclide in the sealed radioactive substance, stated in gigabecquerels. RAV means the activity value stated in schedule 1A, part 2 for the radionuclide in the sealed radioactive substance. (4) For subsection (2), the activity ratio of an aggregation of 2 or more sealed radioactive substances is the sum of the activity ratios of the sealed radioactive substances in the aggregation worked out under subsection (3).
