Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Act 1998

This section applies if an inspector has reasonable grounds for suspecting that there may be evidential material (the suspected material) on any premises.

The inspector may:

enter the premises, with the consent of the occupier or under a warrant issued under section 78; and

exercise the powers set out in subsection (3) and subsection 67(1); and

seize the suspected material, if the inspector finds it on the premises.

If:

in the course of searching, in accordance with a warrant, for a particular thing, an inspector finds another thing that the inspector believes on reasonable grounds to be evidential material; and

the inspector believes, on reasonable grounds, that it is necessary to seize that other thing in order to prevent its concealment, loss or destruction, or its use in committing, continuing or repeating an offence against this Act or the regulations;
