CHAPTER V Control of Nuclear Source Material, Nuclear Fuel and Reactors
Article 21
Control of nuclear source material shall be governed by the following regulations:
(1)Any applicant for the production of nuclear source material shall present a filled-out application to the Atomic Energy Council for approval and the issuance of a license.
(2)The commencement, alternation, stoppage or resumption of the production of nuclear source material shall be reported to the Atomic Energy Council for approval.
(3)Complete records of the production of nuclear source material shall be kept and submitted to the Atomic Energy Council periodically, the Council shall send inspectors for inspection from time to time.
(4)Import or export of nuclear source material, unless approved by the Atomic Energy Council and implemented in compliance with related laws, is not allowed.
(5)Transportation and storage of nuclear source material shall be carried out in compliance with the regulations of the Atomic Energy Council, which shall send inspectors for inspection.
(6)Upon the completion of the facility for the production of nuclear source material, reports shall be submitted to the Atomic Energy Council, upon which the Council and appropriate authorities shall inspect the premises. This shall also apply to any change of establishments.
(7)Utilization, abandonment or transfer of nuclear source material shall be reported to the Atomic Energy Council for approval, which shall send inspectors for inspection.
Article 22
Control of nuclear fuel shall be governed by the following regulations:
(1)Any applicant for the production of nuclear fuel shall present a filled-out application form to the Atomic Energy Council for approval and the issuance of a license.
(2)If the production of nuclear fuel, as stated in the application form, is to be changed, another approval shall be required.
(3)The commencement, stoppage or resumption of the production of nuclear fuel shall be reported to the Atomic Energy council for approval.
(4)Complete records of the production of nuclear fuel shall be kept and submitted periodically to the Atomic Energy Council, which shall send inspector for inspections from time to time.
(5)Import or export of nuclear fuel, unless approved by the Atomic Energy Council and implemented in compliance with related laws, is not allowed.
(6)Transportation and storage of nuclear fuel shall be carried out in compliance with the regulations of the Atomic Energy Council, which shall send inspectors for inspection.
(7)Upon the completion of a facility for the production of nuclear fuel, reports shall be submitted to the Atomic Energy Council for inspection. This shall also apply to any change of the facility.
(8)Utilization, abandonment or transfer of nuclear fuel shall be reported to the Atomic Energy Council for approval, which shall send inspectors for inspection.
Article 23
Control of nuclear reactors shall be governed by the following regulations:
(1)Any applicant for the construction of a nuclear reactor shall present a filled-out application to the Atomic Energy Council for approval and the issuance of a construction permit.
(2)Upon the completion of the construction of a nuclear reactor, a request shall be submitted to the Atomic Energy Council for inspection.
(3)Prior to operation of any nuclear reactor, a safety analysis report of the reactor shall be submitted to the Atomic Energy Council for review, approval, and the issuance of an operating license.
(4)Operation of nuclear reactors shall be in compliance with the regulations of the Atomic Energy Council which shall send inspectors for inspection.
(5)Any design change to be made during the construction phase of any nuclear reactor or any change of equipment due to up dating of the design after operation of the reactor shall be reported in advance to the Atomic Energy Council for approval.
(6)Without the approval of the Atomic Energy Council, a licensee shall not transfer the license or the privilege granted by the license to any other person.
(7)The transfer or removal of any nuclear reactor, unless approved by the Atomic Energy Council, is not allowed.
(8)For the operation of nuclear reactors, the utilization of nuclear fuel and the production of radioactive materials complete records shall be kept and submitted periodically to the Atomic Energy Council, and for auditing purpose the Atomic Energy Council may dispatch personnel for inspection from time to time.
