Q: How is the public protected against radioactive waste?
Answer:
All persons handling radioactive substances have to obtain the necessary
authorisation from the nuclear safety regulator responsible for controlling
these substances. All activities involving radioactive materials of an
industrial nature are controlled by the National Nuclear Regulator (NNR). On the
other hand, all activities involving radiation sources used for medical and
industrial purposes are controlled by the Department of Health (DoH). Both the
NNR and the DoH perform this function by granting authorisation in the form of
licenses and regulations to those persons/organisations responsible for managing
radioactive waste.
