Regulatory

The National Radiation Laboratory (NRL) administers the Radiation Protection Act 1965 and the Radiation Protection Regulations 1982 on behalf of the New Zealand Government.  The legislation controls the use of ionising radiation and requires:

• Users of radioactive materials or irradiating apparatus to hold a licence (users will also normally be required to comply with a Code of safe practice)

• Importers, exporters and dealers of radioactive material to obtain a consent

• Vendors and purchasers of irradiating apparatus to notify all transactions

• Transporters of radioactive material to comply with transport regulations
