Betatron<br />
An electron accelerator in which electrons are accelerated in an increasing magnetic<br />
field maintaining a stable orbit of electrons.<br />
Commissioning<br />
The process during which structures, systems and components of a nuclear and radiation<br />
facility, on being constructed, are made functional and verified to be in accordance<br />
with design specifications and to have met the per<strong>for</strong>mance criteria.<br />
Competent Authority<br />
Any official or authority appointed, approved or recognised by the Government of<br />
India <strong>for</strong> the purpose of the Rules promulgated under the <strong>Atomic</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> Act, 1962.<br />
Computed Tomography<br />
Reconstructive tomography in which image recording and processing are effected by<br />
a computing system.<br />
Consent<br />
It is a written permission issued to the ‘consentee’ by the regulatory body to per<strong>for</strong>m<br />
specified activities related to nuclear and radiation facilities. The types of consents<br />
are ‘licence’, ‘authorisation’, ‘registration’, and ‘approval’ and will apply according<br />
to the category of the facility, the particular activity and radiation source involved.<br />
Consentee<br />
A person to whom consent is granted by the competent authority under the relevant<br />
Rules.<br />
Construction<br />
The process of manufacturing, testing and assembling the components of a nuclear or<br />
radiation facility, the erection of civil works and structures, the installation of<br />
components and equipment and the per<strong>for</strong>mance of associated tests.<br />
Contamination<br />
Presence of a radioactive substances in or on a material or in the human body or other<br />
place in excess of quantities specified by the competent authority.<br />
Cyclotron<br />
A device in which charged particles (other than electrons) travel in a succession of<br />
semicircular orbits of increasing radii under the influence of a constant magnetic field<br />
and are accelerated by traversing a number of times in an electric field produced by a<br />
high frequency generator.<br />
Decommissioning<br />
The process by which a nuclear or radiation facility is finally taken out of operation, in<br />
