Managing radioactive substances

You must complete an application form for the type of radioactive substance you have and pay an application fee to the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA).

Find radioactive substance registration and authorisation application forms.

You can also find information on radioactive substance fees and charges.

Disposing of radioactive waste can be very expensive so make sure that you can afford these costs before you apply for a certificate of authorisation.

It can take the NIEA up to four months to process application forms.
