Radiation Control Act 1990

Each person responsible for a security enhanced source must ensure that a plan is made that addresses—

the security of the source (a source security plan), and

if the source will be transported in New South Wales—the security of the source during transport (a source transport security plan), whether or not the transportation of the source originates from within New South Wales.

A security plan must set out how the source is to be protected from unauthorised access, nominate a natural person who is to be responsible for implementing the plan and deal with any other matters that may be prescribed by the regulations.

The regulations may make provision with respect to the form and content of security plans, the provision of security plans to the Authority and other persons and the keeping of records in respect of security plans.

A security plan cannot be made or amended unless the plan or amendment has been reviewed by a radiation security assessor who endorses on the plan that the plan, or plan as amended, satisfies the requirements of this section.

Subsection (4) does not apply to an amendment that only updates the name of the natural person who is to be responsible for implementing the plan or an amendment of a kind prescribed by the regulations.

Each person responsible for a security enhanced source must ensure that any security plan in respect of the source—

is made or amended in accordance with this section, and

is provided to the Authority—

at such times as the Authority or the regulations may require, and

in the case of a source transport security plan, as soon as reasonably practicable after the plan is made or amended, and

is reviewed by the person responsible for the security enhanced source periodically or at such times and in such manner as may be prescribed by the regulations, and

is reviewed and endorsed by a radiation security assessor no later than every 5 years from the date on which the plan was first endorsed under subsection (4), and

is implemented and complied with.

A radiation security assessor must not endorse a security plan under subsection (6)(c1) unless the assessor is satisfied the plan meets the requirements of this section.

A person who has been given a copy of a security plan or part of such a plan in respect of a security enhanced source must comply with the plan or the part in the person’s dealings with the source.
