Many collections in the UK include some radioactive objects, which must be managed in accordance with the Environmental Permitting Regulations and the Ionising Radiation Regulations. These laws are complex and cover a wide range of industries so it can be difficult to work out how they apply to museums in practice. Museums in the UK also have to consider how to integrate their legal obligations for working with radiation with accepted museum ethical guidelines, SPECTRUM 5.0 and the Accreditation Standard. This paper aims to illustrate how radioactive objects can be practically managed in a small museum context through examples from the Polar Museum in Cambridge, where the Radiation Protection team and the conservator have worked closely since 2009 to develop robust procedures. It covers many collections based activities including display, storage and conservation, and discusses these in the context of recent updates to UK law. A risk assessment template for working with radioactive collections is included as an Appendix.

在英国管理小型放射性馆藏：剑桥极地博物馆的经验

英国的许多馆藏都包含一些放射性物体，必须按照《环境许可条例》和《电离辐射条例》进行管理。这些法律很复杂，涉及的行业广泛，因此很难弄清它们在实践中如何应用于博物馆。英国的博物馆还必须考虑如何将其辐射工作的法律义务与公认的博物馆道德准则，SPECTRUM 5.0和认证标准相结合。本文旨在以剑桥极地博物馆为例，说明在小型博物馆环境中如何切实管理放射性物体。自2009年以来，辐射防护小组和保护人一直在密切合作，以制定健全的程序。它涵盖了许多基于收藏的活动，包括展示，存储和保护，并在英国法律的最新更新中讨论这些内容。附录中包含用于放射性收集的风险评估模板。
