Abstract:
According to the new radiation protection regulations in Norway which were put into force on January 1.st 2004, companies performing industrial radiography will require an authorization from the Norwegian radiation protection authority (NRPA).
By the end of 2004, 80 companies had applied for and had received an authorization for industrial radiography. The company autorizations contain a specific requirement that site radiography must be performed with 2 operators, both holding a radiation protection certificate issued by an independent accreditated certification body. As a basis for the radiation protection certification, a “Normative document” describing the requirements for radiation protection training and competence of industrial radiography operators has been prepared in Cooperation between the Norwegian radiation protection authoritiy and the Norwegian society for non-destructive testing. In this way the surveillence of the radiation protection qualifications of operators is in principle performed by the national accreditation bodies on the basis of the normative document, and not by the radiation protection authorities.
