9. definition
“Radioactive material" means any element or compound whose a component of its atomic structure is unstable and decays by releasing radiation, either existing in nature or created from a production or use nuclear material, from a production by a radiation generator, or from any other processes, not including radioactive material with a characteristics of nuclear material
“Radiation generator" means a machine or a system of devices, when energized, produces radiation, including a component as prescribed by the Ministerial Regulation, which is used in assembling a radiation generator
which cover e-beam ,Cyclotron, Synchrotron

23. E-License system E-License System was developed since 2010 by oracle
Previously, we used a program developed by a private company. And database migration to E-License ( base on Access software )
for the licensing of radiation material and radiation generator include import and export Radioactive material
To applied License through the electronic system.
Registry of radiation material, x ray machine
Database of radiation inspection

31. Source inspection
Licensee will sent document to RA After import or export 15 days
Source Certification
Export or import document
Picture
Licensee will send inventory of source report to RA depend on category of source
notice level user will send annual report
RA will send staff to inspect the site on a regular basis, depending on Cat. Of Source

32. Gap and Challenge
E-License System Not designed for notice Therefore, additional system development is needed.
Registering a Radiation machine is difficult due to the lack of import controls
Have 2 agency to Regulatory So sometime Licensee can not separate responsibilities. M
