The workplace and the shielding planning for radioactive material or equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation shall be made in accordance with its scale and nature, and refer to the stipulations set forth in Appendix I.

• Appendix I：Stipulations Governing Workplace and Shielding Planning for Radioactive Material or Equipment Capable of Producing Ionizing Radiation.PDF

Paragraph 47-1.1
For the security planning for sealed radioactive material of Category I and Category II, its contents shall refer to the matters stipulated in Appendix 2.
Paragraph 47-1.2
The security level and their functions of sealed radioactive material of Category I and Category II shall be in accordance with the stipulations set forth in Table 3.

• Table III：Security level and their functions.PDF
• Appendix II：Stipulations Governing Contents of Security Plan for Sealed Radioactive Material of Category I and Category II.PDF

Prior to the implementation of the security planning for sealed radioactive material of Category I and Category II, should sealed radioactive material of Category I and Category II having been set and the permitted associated practice be not in accordance with the stipulations set forth in Article 47-1, they shall be improved within one (1) year since the date of promulgation of the amendment to the Regulations. However, this period may be extended after permission by the Competent Authority. The extension shall be limited to one (1) year.

If the practice of radioactive material or equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation has one of following conditions, the Competent Authority may cancel its permission, permit or registration:
1.the Competent Authority ordered to suspend all its practices twice in one (1) year; or ordered to suspend part of its practices three times in one (1) year; or
2.the Competent Authority recognizes that there is concern about radiation safety of radioactive material or equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation, which may be detrimental to human health, safety or environmental ecology and that the situation can never be improved, the material or the equipment can never be used, or the situation cannot be improved within a specified time for over half a year.

The radiation safety survey for radioactive material or equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation and the smear test for sealed radioactive material shall be conducted by a radiation protection measuring company authorized by the Competent Authority or radiation protection personnel designated by the facility operator.

If the facility operator uses unsealed radioactive material, he/she shall, each week or after each use, conduct a measuring of the workplace contamination once and make a record. At least twice a year, samples of the released wastewater shall be taken and a nuclide analysis shall be conducted.

With regard to the radioactive material or the equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation specified in the following documents, the facility operator shall check and verify the inventory account and the status of use every six (6) months, make a record of this and keep the record for filing and reference:
1.the permit for use or the permission for possession of radioactive material, and the registration approved by the Competent Authority.
2.the permit for use or the permission for possession of equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation.

Paragraph 52.1
A facility operator who uses, ceases to use or possesses sealed radioactive material shall report to the Competent Authority within the first 15 days of each month on the status of use, cease of use or possession in the preceding month with regard to the said material.
Paragraph 52.2
The report referred to in Paragraph 52.1 may be filed via the Internet.

After permission for the import of radioactive material has been granted by the Competent Authority, the applicant shall, upon arrival of the material, confirm the integrity of the packaging and the package surface, measure the surface dose rate, conduct a smear test and make a record of them. However, the above requirement does not apply to the radioactive material with an activity or an activity concentration less than 100 times the exemption level, excepted packages, or the radioactive material that itself is a noble gas.

Paragraph 54.1
If a facility operator uses, ceases of use or possesses a sealed radioactive material, he/she shall conduct a sealed radioactive material smear test within the time period stipulated in Paragraph 54.3 and keep a record for filing and reference.However the following sealed radioactive material may be excepted from the smear test:
1.sealed radioactive material that is contained in a liquid scintillation counter and used for calibration;
2.sealed gaseous radioactive material;
3.sealed radioactive material with a half-life of not exceeding 30 days;
4.beta- or gamma-emitting radioactive material with an activity of not exceeding 3.7 MBq;
5.alpha-emitting radioactive material with an activity of not exceeding 370 kBq; and
6.other materials as designated by the Competent Authority.
Paragraph 54.2
If the radioactive nuclide referred to in Paragraph 54.1 is radium,the smear test shall include a test for radon leakage.
Paragraph 54.3
Smear test reports of sealed radioactive material shall be made by the facility operator according to the times stipulated below:
1.once every six (6) months for sealed radioactive material in teletherapy equipment and remote after-loading brachytherapy equipment;
2.once a year for sealed radioactive material of other uses;
3.once every three (3) years for americium-241 or nickel-63 contained in toxic gas detectors; or
4.other actions announced by the Competent Authority shall be completed according to the stipulated times.
Paragraph 54.4
If the smear test results referred to in Paragraph 54.1 exceed 185 Bq, the facility operator shall cease the uses immediately and report to the Competent Authority within seven (7) days.

The stipulated radiation survey report, smear test report, measuring records of liquid waste samples, measuring records of workplace and periodic check records of inventory account shall all be kept for five (5) years.
