Abstract

This Regulation prescribes the criteria that shall be observed when requesting a special permit (licence) or a permit for activities with sources of ionising radiation. Citizens or permanent residents of the Republic of Latvia may request a permit for activities with sources of ionising radiation. A special permit (licence) for activities related to the utilisation of government facilities of ionising radiation, or for carrying out significant changes, may be requested by an undertaking (company) registered in the Enterprise Register of the Republic of Latvia. Foreign legal persons and natural persons registered in foreign states, or international organizations registered in foreign states may request: 1. a permit for temporary importation of sources of ionising radiation for demonstration, calibration, testing, or other similar purposes if the duration of such presence of sources of ionising radiation in Latvia does not exceed 30 days and the applicant for the permit already has a special permit (licence) or a permit for the performance of activities with the imported sources of ionising radiation in the relevant foreign state; and 2. a permit for each separate batch of sources of ionising radiation in transit. A special permit (licence) for storage of radioactive waste until the disposal thereof if the intended period of storage exceeds three years, as well as for the disposal of radioactive waste, may be requested by undertakings (companies) registered in the Enterprise Register of the Republic of Latvia, the activities of which undertakings specified in the articles of association are the disposal and management of radioactive waste (management, pre-treatment, treatment, preparation for long-term storage or disposal, and storage of radioactive waste).
