South Australian Current Regulations South Australian Current Regulations (1) For the purposes
of
the definition of "radiation facility" in section 3(1) of the Act, the
following facilities are prescribed:
(a) a
particle accelerator that—
(i)
has, or is capable of having, a beam energy greater than
1 MeV; or
(ii)
can produce neutrons;
(b) an
irradiator that contains more than 10 15 Bq of a radioactive material;
(c) an
irradiator that—
(i)
contains more than 10 13 Bq of a
radioactive material; and
(ii)
does not include shielding as an integral part of its
construction;
(d) an
irradiator that—
(i)
contains more than 10 13 Bq of a
radioactive material; and
(ii)
includes, as an integral part of its construction,
shielding that does not prevent a person from being exposed to the source;
(e) an
irradiator that—
(i)
contains more than 10 13 Bq of a
radioactive material; and
(ii)
includes shielding as an integral part of its
construction; and
(iii)
has a source that is not inside that shielding during the
operation of the irradiator;
(f) a
facility used for the production, processing, use, storage, management or
disposal of—
(i)
sealed sources of radioactive materials of activity
greater than 10 9 times the exempt activity; or
(ii)
unsealed sources of radioactive materials of activity
greater than 10 6 times the exempt activity;
(i)
a mixture of radioactive materials is produced, used,
stored, managed or disposed of using the facility; and
(ii)
the activity of the mixture is greater than the
applicable level;
(h) a
facility where the effective radiation exposure to be incurred by an
individual associated with operation of the facility will, in a year,
exceed—
(i)
when taking into account all reasonably foreseeable
circumstances—100 μSv; or
(ii)
when taking into account low probability scenarios (being
a scenario where the probability of occurrence of the scenario does not exceed
10 -2 per year)—1 mSv in a year.
(2) For the purposes
of subregulation (1)(g)(ii), the activity of the mixture is greater than
the applicable level if, after dividing the activity of each radionuclide in
the mixture by the exempt activity for that radionuclide and adding the
fractions for each radionuclide, the result is greater than—
(a) for
a sealed source—10 9 ;
(b) for
an unsealed source—10 6 .
(3)
Subregulation (1)(f) and (g) do not apply in relation to the storage of
packaged radioactive material during the course of its transport.
