Administrative Regulations for Radioactive Material and Equipment Capable of Producing Ionizing Radiation and Associated Practice Article 2

The terms used in this Regulations are defined as follows:1.Sealed radioactive material refers to radioactive material placed in a sealed container sufficient to provide isolation from the outside under normal use.2.Unsealed radioactive material refers to radioactive material that does not meet the definition of sealed radioactive material.3.Modification refers to any one of the following situations involving radioactive material, equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation or the workplace where they are used:(1) a change in the direction of primary radiation beam of sealed radioactive material or equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation;(2)an increase in the activity of sealed radioactive material;(3)an increase in the nominal voltage of an X-ray unit;(4)an increase in the accelerating voltage of an accelerator;(5)a change in the radiation protective shielding; or(6)other situations as designated by the competent authority.4.Labeling refers to the process of combining a radioactive nuclide with another material to form a radioactive compound.5.Cabinet refers to a separate cabinet, not a part of a building, originally designed or constructed with appropriate shielding that, when in use, prevents entry by personnel and in which radioactive material or equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation is placed.6.High-level radiation facility refers to a facility characterized by one of the following:(1)equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation with a rated accelerating voltage equal to 30 MV or greater;(2)equipment capable of producing ionizing radiation with a particle energy rating equal to 30 MeV or greater; or(3)the use of sealed radioactive material with an activity equal to 1,000 TBq or greater.7.Transit refers to a stop-over period with definite time parameters for goods not yet unloaded being shipped on the same aircraft or means of transportation that are to enter another country or area via Taiwan air or sea ports.8.Transshipment refers to a stop-over period with definite time parameters for unloaded goods being shipped on the same or other aircraft or means of transportation that are to enter another country or area via Taiwan air or sea ports.9.Surface contaminated object (SCO) refers to a solid substance that, itself not radioactive, has been contaminated on the surface by a radioactive material, but this does not include radioactive waste.
中文原文 放射性物質與可發生游離輻射設備及其輻射作業管理辦法第2條
本辦法用詞,定義如下:
一、密封放射性物質:指置於密閉容器內,在正常使用情形下,足以與外界隔離之放射性物質。
二、非密封放射性物質:指密封放射性物質以外之放射性物質。
三、改裝:指放射性物質、可發生游離輻射設備或其使用場所有下列情形之一者:
(一)變更密封放射性物質或可發生游離輻射設備主射束方向。
(二)增加密封放射性物質活度。
(三)增加X光機之公稱電壓。
(四)增加加速器之加速電壓。
(五)變更輻射防護屏蔽。
(六)其他經主管機關指定者。
四、標誌:指將放射性核種加入其他物質結合成放射性化合物之過程。
五、櫃型:指原設計或製造型式之放射性物質或可發生游離輻射設備,裝置於有適當屏蔽之櫃中,使用時能防止人員進入,但該櫃不為建築物之一部分。
六、高強度輻射設施:指下列之一之設施:
(一)可發生游離輻射設備加速電壓值達三千萬伏(30MV)以上之設施。
(二)可發生游離輻射設備粒子能量達三千萬電子伏(30MeV)以上之設施。
(三)使用密封放射性物質活度達一千兆貝克(1000TBq)以上之設施。
七、過境:指貨品經由我國機場、港口,未經卸載,以同一航空器或運輸工具,進入其他國家或地區,所做一定期間之停留。
八、轉口:指貨品經由我國機場、港口,卸載後以同一或不同航空器或運輸工具,進入其他國家或地區,所做一定期間之停留。
九、表面污染物體:指一本身不具放射性之固體其表面受放射性物質污染者,但不包括放射性廢棄物。
