Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Act 1998
Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Regulations 1999
Declaration of Exemption
I, Carl-Magnus Larsson, Chief Executive Officer of ARPANSA, acting pursuant to regulation 38(5) of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Regulations 1999 (the Regulations) am satisfied that the Department of Defence and Australian Defence Force (Defence), in dealing with:
Igniters for gas turbine engines containing krypton-85
satisfies the requirements of paragraphs 38(5)(a), (b) of the Regulations. I therefore declare this dealing to be exempt for possess and use, but excluding disposal.
This declaration will cease to have effect if Defence’s activities with igniters for gas turbine engines containing krypton-85 differ from that which has been described to the extent that doses due to normal operations exceed 10 µSv/year or doses due to accident, misuse or exceptional circumstance exceed 1 mSv in a year.
