Malaysian Nuclear Agency (MNA) and<br />
Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) are<br />
the two main agencies that manage the<br />
disposal of radioactive waste under the<br />
Atomic Energy Licensing Act 1984; but the<br />
monitoring and licensing of all the radioactive<br />
medical devices in healthcare facilities are<br />
given to MoH through delegation of powers<br />
provided under the same act. Radioactive<br />
waste is being managed by the respective<br />
suppliers regulated by the AELB. Nuclear<br />
Malaysia Training Centre within MNA<br />
provides training programs on Radiation<br />
Safety and <strong>Health</strong>, <strong>Environment</strong>al Safety and<br />
<strong>Health</strong> and Medical X-ray based on demand<br />
and needs of the relevant organizations.<br />
