  to the generality of the foregoing provisions, the rules referred to in this
  
  section may provide for-

  possession of, or which has been made available to, the person granted a
  
  license for purposes of this section, should be regarded as restricted

  or may be duly established against the licensee in respect of any hurt to any
  
  person or any damage to any property caused by ionising
