Registration of a radiation passport
Persons who work in radiation protection areas of external plants or facilities for professional reasons require a valid radiation pass. They can carry out cleaning, manual or assembly work in the external plant or facility, but also highly specialized activities such as in nuclear power plants during inspections. This group of people is often referred to as "foreign workers".
The radiation passport is a personal document of the person for whom it is issued. It is not transferable. The occupational exposure of this person is recorded in the radiation passport.
A radiation passport is registered for a period of six years. At the end of the six years, the period of validity can be extended by the competent authority by a maximum of five years if there is still room for entries in the passport. You can also apply for this extension here.
Note: Foreign radiation passports based on the model of the European radiation passport are also valid in Germany. Additional registration in Germany is not required.
