3. 1. General Introduction
The Chinese government attaches great importance to the work of radioactive sources safety and security, pays active support to participate in the international events in the field of radioactive sources safety, and keeps close attention to the radioactive source safety and security policies from the international society.
At present, the supervision and administration of China on radioactive sources safety and security has basically met with the standards and codes for radioactive sources safety and security of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and developed the broad communication and cooperation with the international organizations such as IAEA and the other countries in the world under the principle of transparent and fair policies for the radioactive sources safety and security.

Law
Structure of Chinese Legal Framework

5. 1.1 Chinese Policies on Radiation Sources Safety and Security—LAW
“Law on Prevention and Control of Radioactive Pollution”
Approved by Congress in 2003
First law on radiation safety
Authorized MEP to implement the unified regulations on prevention and control of radioactive pollution in whole country
Applicable to all activities related to radioactive sources
Manufacture, import and export, sale, use, transportation, storage and disposal
In 2004, the Chinese government made a commitment to IAEA to strictly abide the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources.

6. 1.1 Chinese Policies on Radiation Sources Safety and Security—Regulations
“Regulations on Radiation Protection for Radioisotope and Irradiation apparatus”
Approved by the State Council in 2005
Regulation No. 449
Prescribe to implement licensing system to the nuclear technology utilization organizations;
And manage the radioactive sources from cradle to tomb full-course and retrievable.
Such as manufacture, distribution, export, import, use, transportation, disposal of radiation sources

7. 1.2 Life Cycle Regulation on Sources
Categorization management
Hierarchy management
Coding radiation sources
Approval and record system for radiation sources

8. 1.2.1 Categorization Management
MEP has published Methodology of Radiation Sources Categorization which is equivalently adopted from IAEA Categorization of Radiation Sources, grading radiation sources as categories I, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ，under the minimum activity of level Ⅴ being the exemption activity of the radionuclide, according to its potential hazards to human health and the environment.

9. 1.2.2 Hierarchy Management
“Two-level approval” and “Four-level Inspection”
Producing radioisotopes and selling/using radiation sources of category I should be authorized by MEP (except for medical using radiation sources of category I); organizations which use radiation sources of other categories should be authorized by environmental protection departments of provincial level.
The regular supervision is performed by environmental protection departments of state, provincial, municipal and county level according to their responsibilities respectively.

10. 1.2.3 Coding Radiation Sources
  Coding Rule is made to specify each radioactive source having a unique code, which is composed of 12 numbers and letters, standing respectively for manufacturers (or production countries), year of manufacture, nuclide, production serial number and category.
Radioactive sources codes are required to be filled in code cards. Code cards must accompany radioactive source in all of the processes from production to disposal. When radioactive source is transferred, its code card goes along with it.

11. 1.2.3 Coding radiation sources
Co-60, Date in produce--2002, Categorization--IV
Import source: US02CO000014
Domestic source: CO000014

12. 1.2.4 Approval and record system
The 3th rule of MEP is one of the important rules, stipulates the approval and record system about import, export and transfer radiation source.
The 18th rule of MEP is also the important rules, stipulate the exemption , disposal and reuse regulation about radiation source.

13. Characteristic of Chinese radiation source utilization
 Multi-types, large-amount, and widely-spreading
Widely applied in all fields of social life such as industry, agriculture, medical treatment, scientific research, and education, etc.
Activities concerning about 31 provinces nationwide.
How to enforce the regulation and resolve the above mentioned problem ?
