Radiation license holders in Victoria have recently received correspondence from the Department of Health and the Australian Radioactive Waste Agency regarding completing the Common National Inventory of Radioactive Waste survey. The purpose of this survey is to create a master inventory of all radioactive waste in Australia.
A radiation management plan provides the safety map for any organisation which utilises radiation within their practices. Many industries use radiation for precision detection, measurement and quality control applications. Additionally, a radiation management plan must be in place for any organisation involved in the safe transport and storage of radiation. This would be applicable for dangerous goods transport providers and for any organisation whose employees work with or around radiation in the field.
Radioactive products play an important role in our modern age. Their use is applicable across a range of industries including manufacturing, mining and medicine. Specifically, this material is essential in the advanced diagnosis and treatment of some cancers. While these products are used worldwide, the packages within which they are transported must meet specific requirements.
