RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES ACT 1960
This Act came into operation on the 1st December, 1963, to regulate the keeping and use of radioactive
material. Persons who keep or use radioactive material are required to register with the Department of the
Environment and to obtain authorisation from the Secretary of State for the keeping of radioactive
material and the disposal of radioactive waste; certificates of registration are issued. Subject to national
security considerations, the Secretary of State is required to send copies of the certificates to local
authorities of the area concerned. A general register is kept in the Department, 23 premises being listed.
