CABINET NOTES – The Director of the Antigua and Barbuda Bureau of Standards was accompanied by two lawyers from the Ministry of Legal Affairs to address the issue of setting standards for imported radiation equipment and the proper disposal of such equipment and devices that utilize radiation in their functioning.
The Bureau is hoping that regulations controlling the importation, use and discarding of such equipment or devices will be enacted into law. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of the United Nations is assisting in drafting the regulations.
The regulations will require that all radiation devices be accounted for and that workers in the field limit their occupational exposure. The regulatory infrastructure will require licences in order to purchase equipment that generate radiation.
