Radiation sources use The radiation sources (RS) are used in the different spheres of economic activity. RS are used in industry, medicine, education, scientific researches. Sphere of use Users quantity Industry 535 Medicine (without stomatology) 3112 Science and education, 108 Maintenance works 135 Industry Medicine Science and Education Maintenance works 2011

Licensing of activity from the RS use and production Activity from the RS use and production belongs to the particular activities in the nuclear energy use and is subject to the obligatory licensing according to “The order of licensing...” ratified by the decree of Ukraine government. 2012

Licensing of activity from the RS use and production In 2007 primary licensing of medical institutions – users of high-activity RS and primary licensing of non medical users of RS was finished. In 2009 primary licensing of activities for RS use and generators production is finished. 2012 )

Permissive activity in area of radiation sources use: primary licensing of activities for generators (x-ray equipment) use in radio-diagnostics is continued; new radiological facilities (CIBERKNIFE, VARIAN CLINAC) in medicine design is reviewed and assessed; more than 7000 RS from bankrupt facilities are transfered to the RAW disposal facilities; 5 projects of disused sealed highly-active RS extraction from five facilities to the RAW disposal facilities are developed. 2012

The State registration of RS State Register of RS is computerized state system of accounting and control of RS State Register is one of basic countermeasures for radiation accidents and malicious acts with radioactive materials From March, 29 , 2007 Register is in operation 2012

The RS registration in the State Register of RS in case of import or export - Customs report to Register In case of any transfer of RS - User report to Register In case of RS disposal – Disposal Facility reports to Register Registration of RS in the State Register of RS is checked up during inspections 2012

Database of Register Informative Database of Register includes more than 27 059 records about RS (sealed –13 598, generators - 13461); 2011)

providing of safe storage of disused high-active RS; Priorities in the state safety regulation of the RS use and planned Actions improvement of state supervision by strengthening of State Inspectorates for nuclear and radiation safety; providing of safe storage of disused high-active RS; development of new specific requirements for separate activities with RS (graded approach); joint activities with Ministry of Health to improve of radiation protection of patients and creation of Central dose register. 2012
