notifiable incident means any of the following:
 (a) an incident that exposes a person to a dose of ionizing radiation that exceeds an effective dose limit mentioned in section 77 or an equivalent dose limit mentioned in section 79;
 (b) an incident involving a diagnostic or interventional medical procedure resulting in an observable acute radiation effect;
 (c) an incident involving exposure to non‑ionizing radiation from controlled apparatus that:
 (i) exceeds the non‑ionizing radiation exposure limits; or
 (ii) results in noticeable eye or skin damage;
 (d) a theft or loss of controlled material or controlled apparatus, other than controlled material or controlled apparatus in Group 1;
 (e) an incident involving the release of controlled material if the result of the activity value division steps for the controlled material is greater than 104;
 (f) an incident involving transport of a package of controlled material if:
 (i) the result of the activity value division steps for the controlled material is greater than 104; and
 (ii) the package is damaged in such a way that safety provisions are degraded.
occupational exposure means exposure of a person that:
 (a) occurs in the course of the person's work; and
 (b) is not excluded exposure.
Planned Exposure Code means the Code for Radiation Protection in Planned Exposure Situations (2020), published by the CEO, as existing at the commencement of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Amendment (2021 Measures No. 1) Regulations 2021.

sealed source means controlled material permanently contained in a capsule, or closely bound in a solid form, that is strong enough to be leak‑tight for:
 (a) the intended use of the controlled material; and
 (b) any reasonably foreseeable abnormal events likely to affect the controlled material.
Security Code of Practice means the document Security of Radioactive Sources (2019), published by the CEO, as existing at the commencement of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Amendment (2021 Measures No. 1) Regulations 2021.
