Fit and Proper Person tests

Fit and Proper Person tests apply to this activity. You will be asked in your application if you have any relevant convictions held by you or any additional persons.

For this activity, you will also be asked to demonstrate technical competence. Where we have information to suggest that an individual applicant may need a more detailed assessment, we may apply the fit and proper person test in a different way than we might normally.

Fees and charges

An application fee applies to the application of a new authorisation for this activity.

See the RS Application Information Note for more information on application and subsistence fees.

For detailed information on application, annual activity fees, and fees related to transferring, varying, or surrendering an authorisation, please refer to our charging information.

Permit conditions

Permits may contain both standard conditions and conditions specific to the activity and location. The conditions of your permit will be decided when we assess your application. This is to ensure that the appropriate limits and controls are in place to minimise pollution and protect the environment.

If you carry out an activity under a permit authorisation you must comply with the conditions set out in your authorisation. It is an offence if you do not comply with the conditions..

Before applying for a permit, you must ensure you can comply with the associated standard conditions for radioactive substances.

How to apply

To apply for a new permit or to vary an existing permit please complete and submit sections 1 and 2 along with any other relevant sections of the modular application form and submit with the required supplementary documentation.
