RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES ACT, 1960
This Act concerns itself with the control of the keeping and use of radioactive
materials and the accumulation and disposal of wastes. As from the appointed day,
which had been fixed as 1st December, 1963, persons who keep or use radioactive
material are, unless specifically exempted, required to register with the Minister of
Housing and Local Government and to obtain authorisation from him for its accumulation
or disposal. During 1964 notifications were received from the Minister that
he had granted Certificates of Registration under Section 1 of the Act in respect of
three premises in the Borough of Ealing. In all cases, enquiries were made by the
District Public Health Inspectors to provide information about methods of control
and safety measures. Although the Council has no responsibility in this matter it was
felt that some details should be available locally.
