Registration has a lower cost and administrative burden and will be appropriate to radiation practices , which have been shown to be of relatively low risk. Licensing applies to high risk practices. A full list of the practices subject to registration and licensing can be found in the Graded Authorisation section. A new fee structure was introduced in tandem with graded authorisation. Th is fee structure was designed so that the charges are proportionate to level of risk associated with the type of practices being carried out.
The fees will include separate authorisation and enforcement elements. Authorisation fees apply when an application is made to carry out a new practice or to significantly modify an existing practice.
Enforcement fees apply to licensed practices and will be charged annually. Enforcement fees cover the costs associated with guidance, inspection and licence amendments.

The EPA may in certain circumstances authorise the mixing of radioactive and non-radioactive materials for the purposes of re-use or recycling. IRR19 introduce d more stringent protections for workers in workplaces with high indoor radon levels and in activities processing naturally occurring radioactive material NORM.
