Art. 38 Removal of sources of risk

1 Once a li­cence is re­voked or has ex­pired, the sources of risk must be re­moved by the former li­cence hold­er or the party re­spons­ible for them. In par­tic­u­lar:

a.
ra­dio­act­ive sub­stances are to be trans­ferred to an­oth­er li­cence hold­er or dis­posed of as ra­dio­act­ive waste;
b.
in­stall­a­tions and equip­ment cap­able of emit­ting ion­iz­ing ra­di­ation are to be trans­ferred to an­oth­er li­cence hold­er or placed in a con­di­tion ren­der­ing un­au­thor­ised op­er­a­tion im­possible.

2 If ne­ces­sary, the fed­er­al au­thor­it­ies shall take over or seize sub­stances, in­stall­a­tions, equip­ment and art­icles and shall re­move the sources of risk at the li­cence hold­er’s ex­pense.

3 The li­cens­ing au­thor­ity shall de­term­ine wheth­er premises with con­tam­in­ated or ac­tiv­ated areas and their sur­round­ings may be used for oth­er pur­poses.

4 The li­cens­ing au­thor­ity shall is­sue a de­cree de­clar­ing that the sources of risk have been duly re­moved.
