HASS REGULATIONS (High-Activity Sealed Radioactive Sources and Orphan Sources Regulations 2005) The HASS regulations come into effect on January 1 2006. Users are required to apply for a variation to their existing registration to allow them to purchase new Sealed Sources (or Sources with a "similar level of potential hazard" to a HASS) that are placed on the market after 1 January 2006. The HASS regulation has placed a duty upon the holder of HASS Sources and Sources with a "similar level of potential hazard" to make financial provisions for the disposal costs of these Sources. Meddings Radiographics Limited can provide written confirmation that the disposal costs of Iridium¹⁹², Selenium⁷⁵, and Ytterbium¹⁶⁹ Sources purchased from Meddings Radiographics Limited (or under our former name C.S. Products (Testing Equipment) Limited) are included in the original purchase price. Longer lived Isotopes supplied for Crawler Control which include Caesium¹³⁷ and Cobalt⁶⁰ are not included in this agreement and written quotations can be provided on request for disposal. We can provide this information as a formal document in order for you to support your arrangements for financial provisions.

RSA2 (mobile sealed sources) If you wish to keep and use radioactive material in a mobile sealed form. A 'mobile sealed' radioactive source is radioactive material that is firmly sealed or attached to non-radioactive material which prevents dispersion of any radioactive material. RSA3 (Authorisation) If you wish to accumulate or dispose of radioactive waste. This need usually comes from the keeping and use of open radioactive sources. Sometimes the disposal of closed sources can be made under an exemption order, without authorisation. How much will it cost? Work out your fee, using the link below.
