About the Webinar
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) will host a community information session, to share information on the Australian Submarine Agency's (ASA) application for a construction licence for a Prescribed Radiation Facility known as the Controlled Industrial Facility (CIF).
The session will include presentations outlining the new facility, ARPANSA's licence and regulatory processes and the opportunity to ask questions.
The CEO of ARPANSA has given notice she intends to make a decision under section 32 of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Act 1998 regarding ASA's application for the facility licence.
