Dear Ms Baxter
Source S0013 – Request for approval under Regulation 51
Decision
Under Regulation 51 of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Regulations 1999 (the
Regulations), I have decided to approve your request to conduct further pre-characterisation work and
upgrades to the hangar access door at Woomera Test Range. No amendment to the licence is necessary.
Statement of reasons
I have approved your request after considering the following matters and evidence:
My regulatory officers assessed your supplied risk assessments, treatment plans, radiation
protection plan and effective control arrangements contained within the application and its
attachments.
Additional consideration was taken with regard to the unique environmental hazards posed by
Woomera at this time of year which have the potential to adversely impact human performance.
ARPANSA’s handling of the matter
My regulatory officers assessed the application and requested additional information to be supplied
regarding risk assessments. On receipt of this additional information, my staff were able to determine that
best practice was being applied for the proposed activity. My staff also acknowledged CSIRO’s
demonstrated capacity to comply through previous iterations of this essential activity conducted in early
2018.
Yours sincerely
