Units that fail to do so by the deadline shall be dealt with according to the illegal production, sale and use of radioactive sources. Units involved in the discharge of radioactive wastewater, waste gas and solid waste must submit an environmental impact report to the local environmental protection department in advance, and upon approval, apply for a license from the municipal and provincial health departments, and file for registration with the public security department at the same level. For radioactive sources that have been decommissioned, the using unit must apply to the local environmental protection department and send them to the designated radioactive source library for preservation, and must not preserve them on its own in order to avoid loss. Transportation of radioisotopes and their containers must be packaged and dosage-tested in accordance with the relevant state regulations and verified by the transportation and health departments before transportation. Radioactive sources using units to strictly implement the relevant provisions of the state, strengthen the personal dose monitoring and health management of radiation workers, radiation protection knowledge training and education on regulations to improve the legal awareness of radiation workers, safety awareness, enhance work responsibility and self-protection capabilities.

Fourth, strengthen supervision and inspection, special rectification. Recently, in the province to organize and carry out special rectification activities for the safety management of radioactive sources. Rectification work focuses on the jurisdiction of radioactive sources production and sales units, industrial enterprises, medical institutions, scientific research institutions and other units, especially in the current or has been restructuring, reorganization and bankruptcy of the enterprise.
