Notes<br />

1 For tracers in hydrology studies only consent <strong>for</strong> operation is required.<br />

2 Biomedical studies are to be carried only in an already approved laboratory <strong>for</strong> handling open<br />

isotopes. As such no separate clearance <strong>for</strong> siting and layout plan approval is required.<br />

2.8 Consent/Approval<br />

A Consent in the <strong>for</strong>m of type approval shall be necessary <strong>for</strong>:<br />

(i)<br />

sealed sources, radiation generating equipment and equipment<br />

containing radioactive sources <strong>for</strong> the purposes of manufacture and<br />
