Regardless of the type of the process involved, handling, conditioning and storage shall be conducted within the national regulatory and licensing framework and in compliance with international recommendations. The Member States should adopt regulatory measures concerning handling, conditioning and storage practices. Conditioning and storage of DSRS are activities, which usually require operating licenses. Licenses should define the scope of the conditioning and storage operations, radioactive material possession limits and any specific conditions that are to be observed. The legal requirements for records keeping should be identified in the quality assurance system, which itself may be part of the license requirements.
