(2)the equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation, or
(3)the facility and file the certified measurement report with the Competent Authority.
The items for measurement shall be specified by the Competent Authority.

Change of Nature in Registration
If there is any change to the items recorded on the permission, permit, or registration, facility operators shall apply for revision of registration with the Competent Authority within thirty (30) days after the change occurs.

Safety Conditions for Operation
Paragraph 34.1
When the safety conditions required for
(1)the usage of radioactive material and equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation, or
(2)the operation of its production and manufacturing facilities deviate from what was previously approved, facility operators shall apply with the Competent Authority for approval to cease usage or operation, and keep the material or equipment enclosed and stored in accordance with approved means.
Paragraph 34.2
Regarding the preceding suspended material, equipment or facilities, one shall not resume
(1)the usage of radioactive material or equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation, or
(2)the operation of production facilities until approval is obtained from the Competent Authority.

Procedures for Permanent Suspension
Paragraph 35.1
Regarding radioactive material, equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation, or their production/manufacturing facilities under permanent suspension, facility operators shall file with the Competent Authority all material or equipment in possession, and
(1)return the goods to the original manufacturer or seller,　
(2)transfer them to another owner,
(3)dispose of them as radioactive waste, or employ any handling method specified by the Competent Authority.　
The time for such handling shall not exceed three (3) months. However, one may extend beyond the deadline pending the Competent Authority's approval.　
Paragraph 35.2
Within six (6) months after permanent suspension of
