Radiation Control Act 1990

On the substitution of Part 2 by the amending Act—

each existing licence under section 6 in respect of something to which that section applies (other than a licence to use something) is taken to be a radiation management licence in respect of that thing, and

each existing licence under section 6 to use something to which that section applies is taken to be a radiation user licence in respect of that thing, and

each person who is the owner of something registered under section 7 is taken to be issued with a radiation management licence in respect of that thing, and

each person who is the occupier of premises registered under section 8 in respect of a radioactive substance that is kept or used at those premises, is taken to be issued with a radiation management licence in respect of that substance.

A licence that is taken to be a radiation management licence or radiation user licence under this clause or a radiation management licence that is taken to be issued under this clause—

is subject to the same conditions to which the relevant existing licence or registration was subject, but only to the extent that those conditions are consistent with this Act and the regulations, and

remains in force, unless sooner cancelled or surrendered, for the same period that the relevant existing licence or registration would have remained in force, and

may be dealt with under, and is otherwise subject to, the provisions of this Act and the regulations.

If, because of the operation of this clause, a person has more than one radiation management licence, the Authority may cancel each of those licences and issue a single radiation management licence (whether with or without variation to the terms of those existing licences) in respect of all the matters to which those licences related.
