Q

what are the 2 functions of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)?

A
  • to inspect (world’s nuclear inspectorate)
  • ensure that safeguarded nuclear material and activities aren’t used for military purposes
  • promote safety and security: nuclear installations, radioactive sources, radioactive materials in transport, and radioactive waste
  • promote science and technology: nuclear generation for electricity
  • radiation transport recommendations

Q

what is required in order to keep your licence?

A

all licensed areas need to submit an annual compliance report to cnsc

17
Q

what requires a licence?

A
  • areas that use nuclear substances or radiation devices above the exempt Bq quantities

*if you want to possess, use, transfer, store, import, export or service nuclear substances

18
Q

what are requirements of the licence?

A
  • posted in visible spot
  • needs to be renewed every 2-5 years (?)
  • have specific cnsc licence number
  • photocopied and distributed to any supplier of radioactive material
19
Q

on a licence application form, what is needed?

A
  • applicant info.
  • purpose of proposed licence
  • radiation protection program
  • radiation safety program policies and procedures
  • specific requirements based on proposed licensed activity
20
Q

what do you do when you apply for a licences?

A
  • completed and signed application
  • copy of current radiation safety manual
  • copy of current radiation safety policies (ALARA, training, NEW designation, personnel dose rate monitoring, etc.)
21
Q

annual compliance report needs to include radiation safety manual updates. t/f

A

true

22
Q

when do site inspections occur?

A
  • every few years or when significant changes to the license occurs
  • new licenses
23
Q

what are type I inspections?

A

In-depth inspection that includes observations, review of practices/procedures, staff interviews

24
Q

what are type II inspections?

A

brief observation, measurements, and review of records

25
Q

Licensee will be informed of upcoming inspection in writing. t/f

A

true

26
Q

licensee will be given a list of non-compliances with a timeframe for remediation. t/f

A

true

27
Q

which effects (deterministic and/or stochastic) does the EDL ensure that you avoid?

A

deterministic effects
- sets limits well below levels that cause these known biological effects

28
Q

what do the guidelines of ICRP publications 60/103 consider regarding radiation protection and safety?

A
  • considers standards of protection and benefit
  • dose limits recommended follow ALARA
