The process of applying for a radiation permit in a nutshell

The radiation protection expert from NOXX Radiation Safety Services always starts off with an on-site visit to your organization. Together, we assess your organization’s specific needs as well as the legal obligations associated with your use of radiation. Based on this, the radiation expert from NOXX Radiation Safety Services provides well-founded advice on the best way to obtain a permit for your institution’s use of radiation. For example, obtaining a permit for irradiating patients with an X-ray device follows a different process than obtaining a permit for using radioactive substances in a laboratory.

Following the initial meeting, a mutual agreement is drawn up that outlines and describes the various components of the quality assurance process. You will receive a checklist from the radiation expert detailing which items you, as the client, must provide to NOXX Radiation Safety Services. These are documents that must be submitted as attachments to the permit application. Examples include an extract from the Chamber of Commerce, a form authorizing NOXX Radiation Safety Services to apply for the permit on your behalf, and a collection of internal designations and protocols. Throughout the process, the radiation protection expert from NOXX Radiation Safety Services will support and guide you wherever possible.

Once all required documents have been received, the radiation expert will begin drafting the reports that must accompany the permit application. The specific documents needed vary depending on the type of radiation application and the organization involved. Preparing these documents is always a tailored process. One example is the risk analysis, which must be completed before the initial use of ionizing radiation. The risks involved in using a CT scanner for veterinary diagnostics differ significantly from those associated with using a handheld XRF scanner. As a result, the reports vary based on the radiation application. Delivering customized solutions and ensuring that risks are manageable for each client is something we consider essential.

Once all documents are finalized, the application can be submitted to the Autoriteit Nucleaire Veiligheid en Stralingsbescherming (ANVS). The legal processing period for the application is eight weeks. This is usually followed by a round of in-depth questions from the licensing authority. In total, obtaining a Nuclear Energy Act permit typically takes around 14 weeks from the date the application is submitted to the ANVS.
