You are now in the Topics sections of SEPA's website to access radioactive substances activities that are authorised by notification. To access other permits and applications please return to Radioactive substances EASR page.
Information about the activities we regulate that you must notify us that you are carrying on the activity.
Management of radioactive sources
- The management (other than the disposal) of a category 5 sealed source that contains an activity exceeding 200 kBq
- The management (other than the disposal) of a tritium source that contains an activity exceeding 20 GBq
- The management (other than the disposal) of an electrodeposited source.
Please note that although the management (other than the disposal) of an electrodeposited source appears as General Binding Rules (GBR) in Schedule 9 of EASR, SEPA has deemed that it should be a Notification since these types of sources must be transferred to a specialist contractor for disposal.
