(Clause 7)

Part 1 - Exemptions from licensing for use of radioactive substances

1
2 Sealed source devices used for radiation gauging installed in fixed positions
3 Americium 241 in industrial smoke detectors that do not contain any other radioactive substance
4 Self-shielded irradiators (that is, gamma irradiators in which the radioactive substance is completely enclosed in a dry container constructed of solid material that shields the radioactive substance)

4 Radioactive substances used as laboratory reference sources and having a level of activity of less than 40 megabecquerels
5 Radioactive substances for demonstration, teaching or training having a level of activity of less than 40 megabecquerels
6 Uranium metal of natural isotopic composition, or depleted in uranium 235, which is used as radiation shielding in transport packages for radioactive substances or is used in any other manner
