Subject: Radiation requirements
Good afternoon
In the rather broad category of “regulated goods” here I also have radiation (in my “glow in the
dark” pile…).
In reviewing some proposals from MOH in respect of the radiation safety legislation today, it
occurred to me that some of the items for space / high altitude may fall under the licensing
requirements of this legislation. If this were to be the case, then there would be a regulatory process
for the NZ company to go through, and there is a cost.

above is a link to the NEW Radiation Safety Act (not in effect yet) so you can see some of the
definitions.
s 9(2)(a) of MOH
s 9(2)(a)
is my contact for the
operation of the current and future system, and may be worth a call. Could be useful for Rocket Lab
to be aware of their obligations, should any of the items ( including payloads) which they import
require the licence. s 9(2)(a)is based in Christchurch but is often in Wel ington.
