Abstract
This Act will enter into force on 1 January 1992. The scope of the Act is extensive as, in addition to ionizing radiation, it will also apply to activities involving exposure to natural radiation and non-ionizing radiation. Its purpose is to prevent and restrict harmful effects to health resulting from radiation. The basic principles of the Act are that the practice involving radiation should be justified; radiation protection should be optimized; and radiation doses should be as low as reasonably achievable. Licensed organisations using radiation will be responsible for the safety of the activity involving exposure to radiation and for having available the appropriate expertise to this effect. The required so-called safety licence provides the regulatory control to ensure that radiation is used sensibly, that the equipment and shields are technically acceptable and the operating personnel is competent, and that the radioactive waste is dealt with appropriately. The Radiation Act will also apply to nuclear activities within the scope of the 1987 Nuclear Energy Act. [Francais] Cette Loi entrera en vigueur le 1er janvier 1992. Elle a une large portee car elle ne se limite pas aux rayonnements ionisants mais couvre egalement les activites qui impliquent une exposition au fonds

Elle a une large portee car elle ne se limite pas aux rayonnements ionisants mais couvre egalement les activites qui impliquent une exposition au fonds de rayonnement naturel et aux rayonnements non ionisants. La Loi a pour objet de prevenir et de limiter les effets nocifs des rayonnements pour la sante. Les principes de base de la Loi sont les suivants: les pratiques mettant en jeu des rayonnements doivent etre justifiees; la radioprotection doit etre optimisee; et les doses de rayonnements doivent etre aussi faibles que possible. Les organismes titulaires d`autorisations sont responsables de la securite de l`activite impliquant une exposition aux rayonnements et sont tenus d`avoir l`expertise necessaire a cet effet. L`autorisation requise, dite de securite, prevoit qu`un controle reglementaire doit assurer que les rayonnements sont utilises raisonnablement et que les equipements et les ecrans de protection sont techniquement acceptables, que le personnel est competent et que les dechets radioactifs sont traites de facon appropriee. La Loi relative aux rayonnements est egalement applicable aux activites nucleaires entrant dans le champ d`application de la Loi sur l`energie nucleaire de 1987.}
