11) post-utilization - complex of works on dismantle and demolition of capital structures (buildings, constructions, complexes) after the termination of their operation (use, application) with simultaneous recovery and recycling of the regenerated elements (designs, materials, the equipment), and also conversion of the elements and waste which are not subject to regeneration;

12) burial - placement of spent nuclear fuel or radioactive waste in burial Item without intention of their withdrawal;

13) burial Item - the nuclear or radiation installation intended for burial of spent nuclear fuel or radioactive waste;

14) closing of Item of burial - completion of all transactions after burial with reduction of Item of burial in safe condition;

15) input of installation in operation - documentary drawn up activities for reduction in the working condition of components and systems of nuclear or radiation, or electrophysical installation after the termination of its construction and carrying out necessary testing;

16) installation conclusion from operation - documentary drawn up activities for the termination of operation of nuclear or radiation, or electrophysical installation and its exception from under the state control with providing end state of installation and the platform of its placement conforming to requirements for safety;

17) the operating organization - the legal entity performing activities for the address with subjects to use of atomic energy;

18) spent nuclear fuel - the nuclear fuel irradiated in the nuclear reactor and finally removed from it;

19) personnel - physical persons, constantly or temporarily working with sources of ionizing radiation or being under the terms of work in the field of their impact;

20) radiation risk - probability of damnification of life or to health of the person, property of physical persons and legal entities, the environment as a result of radiation taking into account weight of its effects;

21) radiation safety - the condition of properties and characteristics of subject to use of atomic energy provided with complex of the actions limiting radiative effects on personnel, the population and the environment according to the regulations established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan;

22) category of radiation hazard - the characteristic of subject to use of atomic energy on degree of its radiation hazard for the population and (or) the environment in case of the treatment of him or in the conditions of possible accident;

23) radiation installation - the special, not being nuclear installation, including the rooms relating to it, constructions and the equipment on which the treatment of nuclear materials and (or) radioactive materials is performed;

24) radioactive materials - any materials of natural or technogenic origin in any aggregate state containing radionuclides;

25) radioactive waste - radioactive materials, nuclear materials or radio nuclide sources with content of radionuclides is higher than the level withdrawals which further use is not provided;

26) radio nuclide source - the source of ionizing radiation containing radioactive materials, which is specially created for its useful application or being by-product of any type of activity;

27) storage - the temporary placement in Items of storage of nuclear fuel, nuclear materials, radioactive materials, radio nuclide sources, spent nuclear fuel, radioactive waste assuming possibility of their extraction for the further treatment of them;

28) storage Item - the nuclear or radiation installation intended for storage of nuclear fuel, nuclear materials, radioactive materials, radio nuclide sources, spent nuclear fuel, radioactive waste;

29) transport packaging set - set of the elements necessary for complete placement and deduction of radioactive content in transit;

30) physical protection - single system of organizational and technical measures for prevention of unauthorized access to subject to use of atomic energy;

31) electrophysical installation - the special, not being nuclear or radiation installation generating or capable to generate ionizing radiation, including the rooms relating to it, constructions and the equipment;

32) nuclear safety - condition of properties and characteristics of subject to use of atomic energy in case of which with certain probability the impossibility of nuclear accident is provided;
