Applications for a Licence to Possess a Radiation Source (Radiation Protection Plan) (240KB)

An applicant must apply using this form for:
- a new licence to possess a radiation source or
- a renewal of a licence to possess a radiation source.

There may be only one licensee to possess at a practice or operation and that person is usually a manager or director of a company.

The application may include other radiation related activities. For example, a licensee to possess a radiation source may also use that source if it is appropriate. When this application is approved, the radiation protection plan is approved. Every licence to possess must provide a radiation protection plan and a template is incorporated into the application.

A fee of $100 must be paid at the time of the application.
NTG applicants are exempt from payment.

Third party service providers accredited under the Radiation Protection Act to carry out work defined as install, test, repair, service and decommission may use this guideline in parallel with Service Checks for Diagnostic Equipment.

The required tests are essentially concerned with the radiation safety of X-ray equipment. As patient dose ultimately depends on the complete imaging process, the tests must be supplemented with other radiographic, sensitometric and image quality tests as part of a complete quality management program.

This document is a guideline on obtaining a certificate of compliance for a radiation place. Appropriate and adequate radiation shielding must be provided in medical facilities and in any facility that uses a radiation source. A radiation source may be a radiation apparatus or radioactive material. Appropriate and adequate radiation shielding will ensure the protection of occupationally exposed workers and members of the public.

The responsibility for providing adequate shielding resides with the operator. A certificate of compliance for a radiation place is required to register the radiation place. This certificate of compliance must be obtained from a third party service provider, who holds a current certificate of accreditation. A certificate of compliance provides assurance that shielding is adequate for the practice.

It is recommended that each operator uses the design goals that are shown on page 6 of this guideline as risk constraints for their practice.
