RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES ACT, 1960
The Council were notified by the Ministry of Housing and
Local Government of the issue during the year of revised
certificates of authorisation for the disposal and accumulation
of radioactive waste in respect of two of the four premises
in the Borough where radioactive materials are stored and/or
used.
In addition, the Ministry notified the Council of the installation
by a large commercial undertaking in the Borough of a
lightning conductor incorporating closed sources of radioactivity
and containing 0.46 millicuries of radium 226.
In this instance conditional exemption is granted to the
firm concerned under the Radioactive Substances (Attachments
to Lightning Conductors) Exemption Order, 1963, but the Minister
thinks it desirable for the local authority to be informed of the
whereabouts of such conductors in its area.

of Registration had been issued to 162 hairdressers or barbers.
