This Order lays down detailed rules on radioactive substances as a supplement to Denmark’s general radiation-protection framework. It regulates the manufacture, possession, handling, use, storage, transfer, import, export, discharge, release, decommissioning and disposal of radioactive material, including radioactive waste, closed and open radioactive sources, consumer products, school sources, medical and veterinary uses, and naturally occurring radioactive material. It prohibits certain radioactive consumer-related products, sets requirements for permits, notifications, safety assessments, registration of sources and facilities, release criteria, decommissioning plans and reports, record-keeping, warning signs, storage, labelling, contamination control, monitoring of discharges and assessment of doses to members of the public. It also establishes specific requirements for high-activity sources, including security, vulnerability assessments, security plans, emergency preparedness and responsible personnel. The Order contains appeal and penalty provisions, transitional rules, and implements parts of Euratom rules on radiation safety and radioactive waste management.
