Declaration of Exemption
I, Carl-Magnus Larsson, Chief Executive Officer of ARPANSA, acting pursuant to the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Regulations 1999 (the Regulations) hereby conclude that in the de-commissioning and disposal of a controlled facility, namely:
the 6 MV linear accelerator located at Port Wakefield, South Australia licensed under Facility Licence F0166,
the Department of Defence and Australian Defence Force (Defence) is engaging in conduct that does not, or will not, pose an unacceptable potential hazard to the health and safety of people or the environment and therefore, satisfies the requirements of sub-regulation 37(1) of the Regulations. Consequently, Defence is exempted from the need to obtain authorisation to de-commission and dispose of the 6 MV linear accelerator under paragraph 30(1)(f) of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Act 1998.
