B. naturally occurring radionuclides which are not processed for their radioactive, fissile or fertile properties
To answer the following questions, you’ll need to refer to the column values in Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 Schedule 7 Part 1 table on the legislation website.
1. Are activity concentration values (Bq/g) level with or below values in column 2, for any amount of material?
Yes – you don’t need to notify or register
No - go to step 2
2. Are activity values (Bq) level with or below the values in column 3, for any amount of material?
Yes – you don’t need to notify or register
No - go to step 3
3. Is the amount of radioactive material 1000kg or less?
Yes – go to step 4
No – register
4. Are activity concentration values (Bq/g) level with or below the values in column 4
Yes – notify
No – register
