In accordance with the decision of the Parliament:
The purpose of this law is to prevent and limit the health and other adverse effects of radiation.
The law concerns the use of radiation and other activities that cause or may result from exposure to radiation harmful to human health.
In order to be acceptable, radiation exposure and other exposure to radiation shall meet the following requirements:
(1) the benefits to be achieved outweigh the damage caused by the operation (principle of justification);
(2) the operation is organised in such a way that the resulting exposure to radiation which is harmful to health is considered as low as practicable (optimisation principle);
(3) the irradiation exposure of the individual does not exceed the maximum values set by the Regulation (the individual protection principle).
The Radiation Security Centre may provide more detailed provisions on the basis for calculating individual exposure to radiation. (22/05/2015)
Nuclear energy is provided for nuclear energy (990/87) . However, the use of nuclear energy is also subject to the provisions of Article 2 and Chapter 9 of this Act.
This law determines the radiation exposure of natural radiation in the mines and sets requirements for radiation safety in mining. Other aspects of mining safety and its supervision are laid down in the Mining Act (2006) . (10/06/2015)
Moreover, occupational safety and the protection of workers are in force, as is expressly provided for. (238.2002/744)
The Regulation may provide for derogations from the application of this Act in the armed forces and in the border guard service, where the reasons of the defence or the control of the borders of the country require it.
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health is responsible for supervising and supervising compliance with this law in matters relating to:
(1) the overall assessment of the adverse health effects of radiation;
(2) the assessment of the need for measures to limit radiation exposure and the setting of requirements for such measures; or
3) the requirements for monitoring the exposure of workers and other exposed persons to radiation.
The highest management and control of radiation exposure is the responsibility of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. However, the management and control of the activity responsible for radiation exposure is controlled by the Ministry of Employment and the Economy in matters relating to:
(1) the use of nuclear energy for nuclear energy; or
2) commercial manufacturing and trade in radiation sources, as well as import and export.
(10/06/2015)Compliance with this law and its provisions and regulations will be monitored by the Radiation Security Centre. The medical use of radiation is controlled and controlled under the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, as provided for in Articles 38 and 41 below or elsewhere.

High-active umbilical source (source) means the source of the radionuclide containing the activity of the radionuclide at the time of the completion of the source or, where there is no known activity-related activity, for the first time when the source is placed on the market; At the level of activity in accordance with Annex 1, the structure of which, under normal conditions of use, prevents the release of radioactive material into the environment.
When applying for a safety authorisation to the use of high activity sealed sources, the application for authorisation shall include reports of compliance with the requirements of Articles 16 and 18 of this Act. The reports shall be presented in particular:
(1) from sources and their protective equipment, and equipment related to the use of sources;
(2) the quality system for the use and management of sources and the procedures for quality management;
(3) the maintenance of equipment related to the use of sources, guards and sources;

However, no guarantee is required for a source with a half-life of less than 150 days.
The degree of security shall be determined by the Radiation Security Centre for each source separately. The guarantee amount consists of a fixed basic payment and an additional source charge, the criteria for which are the nature of the radioactive material contained in the source and the activity of the source.
The deposit is rounded to the nearest thousand euro. The guarantee shall be a bank guarantee, credit insurance or security deposit equivalent to those provided for by the Council Regulation.
The decree of the Council of State provides for:

The health file shall include information necessary for health surveillance on previous employment and service activities of the worker and the results of the monitoring of the worker's exposure to radiation.
Without the employee's consent, the information contained in the health file will be provided to the Radiation Protection Centre. The operator of the exposure to radiation shall provide the information necessary for the operator to fulfil the obligations laid down in this Act.
The competent medical practitioner is responsible for ensuring that the health file is properly organised and kept up to date. When a corresponding doctor changes, the health file must be handed over to the successor.
The information in the health file must be treated as confidential.
The health file must be kept continuously up to date as long as the employee belongs to the radiation category A. After that, the file must be kept until the worker satisfies or would have completed 75 years. In all cases the file shall be kept until 30 years after the end of the radiation work.
The Finnish employer, who is employed by a Finnish worker who carries out radiation work abroad, is obliged to ensure that the information on the radiation exposure of the worker is entered in the dosing register.
