WORK NOT REQUIRED TO BE
NOTIFIED UNDER REGULATION
6
1. Work with ionising radiation shall not be required to be
notified in accordance with regulation 6 when the only such work being carried out is in one or more
of the following categories -
(a) where the concentration of activity per unit mass of a radioactive substance does not exceed the
concentration specified in column 2 of Part I of Schedule 8;
(b)
where the quantity of radioactive substance involved does not exceed the
quantity specified in column 3 of Part I of Schedule 8;
(c) where
apparatus contains radioactive
substances in a quantity
exceeding the values specified in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above
provided that -
(i) the apparatus is of a type approved by the
Executive;
(ii) the apparatus is constructed in the form of a
sealed source;
(iii) the apparatus does not under normal
operating conditions cause a dose rate of more than
1µSvh-1 at a distance of 0.1m from any
accessible surface; and
(iv) conditions for the disposal of the
apparatus have been specified by the appropriate Agency;
(d) the operation of any electrical apparatus to which these Regulations apply other than apparatus
referred to in sub-paragraph (e) below provided
that -
(i) the apparatus is of a type approved by the Executive;
and
(ii) the apparatus does not under normal operating
conditions cause a dose rate
of more than 1µSvh-1 at a distance of 0.1m from
any accessible surface;
(e) the operation of -
(i) any cathode ray tube intended for the display of visual
images; or
(ii) any other electrical apparatus operating at a
potential difference not exceeding 30kV,
provided that the operation of the tube or apparatus does not under
normal operating conditions cause a dose rate of more than
1µSvh-1 at a distance of 0.1m from any accessible
surface;
(f) where the work involves material contaminated
with radioactive substances resulting from authorised
releases which the appropriate Agency has declared not to be subject to
further control.
2. In this Schedule, "the appropriate
Agency" has the meaning assigned to it by section 47(1) of the Radioactive Substances Act 1993[
