Establishment
Control over the use of radioactive substances began in 1968 when
Parliament passed the Radioactive Substances Act 1968. Due to
rapid development of atomic energy activities in Malaysia which
requires more effective control, inspection and enforcement, the
Atomic Energy licensing Bill was drafted. This Bill was passed
by Parliament in April 1984 as the Atomic Energy Licensing Act
(Act 304).
In line with Section 3 of the (Act 304), the Atomic Energy Licensing
Board (AELB) was established under the Prime Minister’s Department on 1
February 1985. The AELB acts as an enforcement body for the
implementation of the Act. However on 27 October 1990 the Board was
place under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
