Every licensee must review their sealed source inventory at least annually to identify any sources that have become disused.

Every licensee must, if required to do so by the Director‑General, notify the Director‑General of any disused source identified under paragraph (1).

Before declaring any disused sealed source as radioactive waste, the licensee must first attempt to return the sealed source to its supplier and consider possible reuse or recycling of the source.

Without limiting paragraph (3) and unless otherwise authorised by the Director‑General, every licensee must make arrangements for the prompt transfer of any disused sealed sources to a facility authorised to receive disused sealed sources.
