Radiation Safety Act 1999

As soon as practicable after an inspector seizes a thing, the inspector must give a receipt for it to the person from whom it was seized.

However, if for any reason it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1), the inspector must leave the receipt at the place of seizure in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way.

The receipt must describe generally each thing seized and its condition.

Also, if the thing is seized under section 127, the receipt must state—

the radiation hazard identified by the inspector under section 127(1)(a) at the time of seizure; and

the thing will be forfeited to the State if its owner does not, in the period of 90 days after the seizure, demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of an inspector that the radiation hazard can be managed in a way that ensures no person will receive a radiation dose from the thing higher than the radiation dose limit prescribed under a regulation.

This section does not apply to a thing if it is impracticable or would be unreasonable to give the receipt (given the thing’s nature, condition and value).
