Categorization of sources Categorization of sources
Why categorization ?
Controls to be applied should be commensurate with radiological risks that the sources and materials present.
Of particular concern are those radiation sources which have the potential for causing significant harm to persons or have the potential for widespread contamination.
Categorization is a tool that can be used in authorization and other relevant decision-making processes.

Categorization of sourcesCategorization of sources
Use of categorization in authorization process
Authorization by registration or licensingSecurity requirements in:
- manufacture- transport- storage- use- transfer and repair- decommissioning and disposal
Emergency preparedness

Categorization of sourcesCategorization of sources
Bases of categorization
Level of activity Construction and properties of radiation
source Probability of accidents causing:
- serious injury to persons- increased exposure to worker- increased exposure to public- contamination
Management of safety and security Type of use (fixed/mobile)

Authorization by registrationAuthorization by registration
Registration is simple and efficient authorization mechanism.
Suitable if: Safety is ensured by the design of facilities and
equipment Operation procedures are are simple to follow Radiation safety training requirements are minimal Practice is routinely operated Few safety problems are known within operations Number of users is large

Authorization by registrationAuthorization by registration
The Regulatory Authority should:
1. Establish the safety requirements which must be met as a precondition for registration.
and/or
2. Conduct a generic safety assessment of equipment and related operating procedures provided by a supplier or manufacturer.
Depending on the nature of the practice, one or the other or a combination of both may be used.

Authorization by registrationAuthorization by registration
Application for registration should include: Identification of the source and equipment to be utilized
The location of use
The name of a person responsible for radiation safety
Agreement to follow the applicable operating, maintenance and disposal requirements
Authority should record the information in register (database) for regulatory purposes.
