ARPANSA - Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency

The Code establishes requirements for adoption by Commonwealth, State and Territory jurisdictions that will provide a system for the safe use of veterinary radiation equipment and radioactive sources. The Safety Guide also covers the use of radiation in veterinary medicine and informs best practice in each application of ionizing radiation. Consequently, it provides useful radiation protection information to the veterinary community.
