Term | Description |
---|
Radiation Protection | The protection of people from the effects of exposure to Ionising Radiation, and the means for achieving this. |
Radiation Source | A radiation generator, or a Radioactive Source or other Radioactive Material outside the nuclear fuel cycles of research power reactors. |
Radiation Weighting Factor | The number by which the absorbed dose in a tissue is multiplied to reflect the relative biological effectiveness of the radiation in inducing stochastic effects at low doses, the result being the Equivalent Dose. The radiation weighting factors published in „The 1990 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP 60)‟ shall be applied until the Authority determines that the revised radiation weighting factors published in „The 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection‟ (ICRP 103) shall be applied. |
Radioactive Material | Material designated by the Authority as being subject to Regulatory Control because of its radioactivity. |
Radioactive Source | Radioactive Material that is permanently seated in a capsule or closely bonded and in a solid form and which is not exempt from Regulatory Control. This also includes any Radioactive Material released if the Radioactive Source is leaking or broken, but does not include material encapsulated for Disposal, or Nuclear Material with the nuclear fuel cycles of research and power reactors. |
Radioactive Waste | Waste that contains or is contaminated with, radionuclides at concentrations or activities greater than levels as established by the Authority. |
Radioactive Waste Management | All administrative and operational activities involved in the handling, pre-treatment, treatment, conditioning, transport, Storage and Disposal of Radioactive Waste. |
Radioactive Waste Management Facilities | Facility specifically designated to handle, treat, condition, temporarily store or permanently dispose of Radioactive Waste. |
Radioactive Waste Repository | A repository to deposit Radioactive Waste for disposal purposes. |
Records | For Safeguards defined as Accounting Records, Operating Records, all Reports and clarifications thereof, source documents related to Nuclear Material Accountancy and Control, notifications to the Authority, requested reports, studies and experiments, and any other selected items that the Authority identifies to the Licensee in connection with its regulations. |
Regulated Activities | The activities identified in Article 25 of this Law by Decree. |
Regulated Material | Any Radioactive Material, special materials and equipment, Radioactive Waste, nuclear spent fuel and any other material, product, service or asset whether tangible or intangible, which, in the opinion of the Authority, is or may in the future be related to or connected with the Nuclear Sector and designated as such from time to time by implementing regulations; and Any other Radioactive Material and Sources of ionising Radiation as designated by the Authority from time to time as requiring its direct oversight. |
Regulatory Control | Any form of control or regulation applied to Facilities or Activities by the Authority for reasons relating to Radiation Protection or to the Safety or security of Radioactive Sources. |
Regulatory Inspection | Inspection undertaken by or on behalf of the authority to ensure the Licensee‟s compliance with the provisions of this Law by Decree, the implementing regulation, regulations in force and terms of the Licence. |
Reports | For safeguards are defined as Special Reports, Physical Inventory Listings, Material Balance Reports, Inventory Change Reports and any other report drafted by the Licensee for any reason. |
Reprocessing | A process or operation, the purpose of which is to extract radioactive isotopes from nuclear spent fuel for further use. |
