Which records are typically required for radiation source licensing?

• A. Inventories and dosimetry
• B. Calibrations and training
• C. Waste logs and incident reports
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Licensing a radiation source requires a complete, auditable record set that shows the program is fully controlled and trackable. Inventories and dosimetry prove you know what sources exist and that workers’ exposures stay within permitted limits. Calibrations and training ensure equipment readings are accurate and personnel are competent to handle sources safely. Waste logs track how radioactive material is disposed of or stored, while incident reports capture and address any spills, losses, or abnormal events. Regulators expect this broad and integrated documentation to demonstrate proper accountability and safety management, so having all these records together is the best, most complete approach.
