Radiation Safety Committee and related information
Radiation Safety Committee
With effect from 1 July 2009, the Code of Practice for the Security of Radioactive Sources, Radiation Protection Series (RPS) No 11 is considered as a licence condition.
In summary, sources are categorised by the formula A/D. Using the table in the reference RPS No11, there is a list of security outcomes that are mandatory. How those outcomes are achieved may vary according to the type of practice or use.
Unsealed sources are exempt from the Code of Practice for the Security of Radioactive Sources. There is also a requirement as detailed in the errata attached for possibly a security check or an identity check using the table in the RPS No11.

Radiation Materials Exemption Levels [PDF]
The national directory has exemption levels for radioactive material. They are given in total activity and activity concentration. See Schedule 4, for example Na-22 1 MBq (Total activity) and 1 Bq/g (Activity Concentration).
Radiation Management System (RadMS)
This is a web based database that is provided by Information Technology Resources (ITR) and administered by the RAC Secretary. The School Radiation Safety Officer, one per School or one per licence e.g. 1 per radiation materials licence plus one per electronic equipment licence, have access to amend details. RAC members have read only access unless they are an RSO. Contact the IBC Secretary for any details. When any entry is made an email is sent automatically to the RAC Secretary. All Approved Facilities for dealing with sources of radiation/equipment are listed in the Asset Management Services database. Project/Equipment/Source proposals are submitted via signed applications only.
