completion of decommissioning, covering safe disposal of the source and<br />
contaminated components and personnel doses received during<br />
decommissioning operation.<br />
3.15.4 Lead Time <strong>for</strong> Submission/Availability of Documents<br />
The lead time <strong>for</strong> submission of documents at any stage of <strong>Consenting</strong> process<br />
is 30 days be<strong>for</strong>e the desired date of Consent and the documents should be<br />
complete in all respects <strong>for</strong> review by AERB.<br />
3.16 Research Applications using Radioisotopes<br />
3.16.1 Sealed Radioisotopes in Research and Calibration<br />
3.16.1.1 General<br />
Sealed radioisotopes in small quantities are used in various research<br />
applications such as agriculture, industry, biomedical, biological sciences,<br />
education and training. The sources are also being used <strong>for</strong> calibration of<br />
radiation measuring/monitoring devices and pilots in crawler units etc.<br />
3.16.1.2 Procurement and Registration<br />
The applicant needs to submit an Application to obtain consent <strong>for</strong><br />
procurement of sealed sources. This also requires submission of details<br />
indicating the layout of the site of handling/installation , source storage facility,<br />
wherever necessary, which is to be approved by AERB. The sealed source<br />
should be type approved or in case of low activity sources it should at least<br />
meet the relevant standards prescribed by AERB.<br />
In case sealed source is not type approved, the applicant should submit the<br />
documents to the AERB demonstrating compliance with the applicable<br />
relevant national/international standards as per the application <strong>for</strong>mat<br />
prescribed in Annexure 53.<br />
The AERB assesses the application <strong>for</strong> the use of sealed sources in the research<br />
application, along with the layout plan of the laboratory. Based on nature of<br />
radioactive work to be undertaken by the laboratory, availability of trained<br />
manpower, qualified radiological safety officer (RSO), radiation protection<br />
and monitoring accessories and counting equipment, AERB may grant<br />
permission <strong>for</strong> procuring the radioactive source and may issue Registration<br />
of the facility. The <strong>for</strong>mat of Applicant or Consent or procurement of sealed<br />
radioactive sources <strong>for</strong> research/calibration purposes is given in<br />
Annexure 66.<br />
On the procurement of sealed sources(s), and after its installation and or<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e its use the applicant should submit the application <strong>for</strong> Registration of<br />
sealed radiation sources used in research, calibration of radiation monitors<br />
and other applications as per the <strong>for</strong>mat given in Annexure 67.<br />
