In October, ANSTO released the Independent Safety Review of the ANSTO Health Approach to Occupational Radiation Safety and Operational Procedures.
Today we are publishing an update on the response, and the following can be attributed to a spokesperson:
“ANSTO acknowledged the report was significant and its recommendations wide-ranging, and spent eight weeks considering the Review’s recommendations and implications,” said the spokesperson.
“As such, and in line with the direction from the independent nuclear regulator, ARPANSA, ANSTO is currently finalising the development of a robust action plan that addresses the Review’s recommendations.
“ANSTO’s response and action plan will be finalised and sent to ARPANSA on Tuesday 4 December, within the agreed timeframe.
“Once the regulator has reviewed and accepted the documents, they will be publicly released – the expectation being before Christmas.”
