Radiation Incidents

It is very important to report radiation incidents to the NRL.  Different forms are used depending on whether the incident arises from a medical misadministration or other radiation incident.

Sale of X-ray Equipment

Section 14 of the Radiation Protection Act 1965 requires that whenever x-ray equipment or other irradiating apparatus (linear accelerator etc) is sold, the seller must notify NRL on or before the date of sale with the necessary details.  If the equipment is imported directly from overseas, then the buyer must supply the notification.

Notification can be made on this form (PDF - 28 kB).  The form is also available here as a Word document.
