Setting up your radiation business

New radiation businesses will need to follow a process to set-up their radiation sources and premises:

  1. Possession Licence—have overall ownership and control of radiation source
  2. Approval to Acquire—purchase or otherwise obtain a radiation source
  3. Use Licence—perform a medical radiation procedure

Medical radiation business purposes include:

  • Medical imaging
  • Nuclear medicine
  • Radiation therapy
  • Surgical procedures.

You may also need to relocate or dispose of a radiation source or transport a radioactive substance.
