" Categories Of Persons Exposed To Radiation

§ 11. (1) For control and surveillance purposes, a distinction is made between two categories of persons exposed to radiation:

Category A: persons exposed to radiation, who are expected to have a higher effective dose than 6 millisievert or higher in the course of their professional activity over a period of 12 consecutive months Equivalent dose as 45 millisievert for the eye lens or 150 millisieverts for the skin or the hands, forearms, feet and ankles can be obtained;

2.

Category B: persons exposed to occupation who do not belong to category A.

The dose equivalent for the skin shall be independent of the exposed surface area for the median dose on each surface of 1 cm 2 .

(2) The classification of persons exposed to occupationally exposed persons in categories A or B shall be classified in the case of activities subject to authorisation by the competent authority in the context of the authorization procedure or in the case of a righthand radiation protection legal authorisation in the context of the next inspection according to § 17 StrSchG.

(3) In the case of this classification, the nature of the transition, the usually occurring exposures and the specific situation must be taken into account. Few probable exposure scenarios and exposures, which can only be caused by grossly negligent or deliberately irregular behavior, are to be ignored.

(4) The holder of the authorization shall make available any additional information required for the classification, in particular on the individual activities and periods of residence in radiation areas, at the request of the authority.

(5) If a holder of the authorization intends to carry out non-bewilligate activities in radiation areas by non-business persons who may require classification of the persons concerned into category B, he/she shall have the right to to apply to the Authority such a classification on the basis of all the information required for the dose assessment. Where the Authority is issuing the application, it shall, in a modest manner, establish that the planned activity of persons of category B may be carried out. If, however, the Authority considers that:

1.

it would be necessary to classify it in category A, it has to reject the application, recalling that the rules on external workers are to be applied;

2.

it is not required to be classified as a person exposed to radiation, it must be noted in a modest manner.

(6) Where the values laid down in paragraph 1 (1) (1) are exceeded for persons exposed to radiation in category B, the holder of the authorization shall immediately inform the competent authority to clarify the causes and, if so, possible to take remedial action.

(7) If remedial action cannot be taken, the competent authority shall review the handling of its justification. If this treatment remains justified in spite of potentially higher doses, only professionally exposed persons of category A may take action. "

The working instructions must include, in particular, the prudential and protective measures necessary for the activity concerned. "

20. § 17 (4) reads:

" (4) Areas in which only radiation devices are operated shall only be considered to be radiation areas during the operation of these devices. However, if activation products are produced during operation, the affected areas remain radiation areas even after termination of the operation, until the activation products have subsidisated to the extent that they are ignored from the point of view of radiation protection.

In particular, the nature and content of any submissions for the persons to be admitted as well as the nature and extent of any access controls shall be defined. Furthermore, an estimation of the doses occurring in the process is to be carried out. These access rules and dose estimates shall be submitted at the request of the Authority.

(2) Where an effective dose of more than 10 microsieverts or multiple access is expected to be effective at an effective dose of more than 100 microsieverts per year, appropriate records shall be kept for such access, from which the dose should be: the actual doses that have actually occurred.

If there are reasonable doubts, the holder of the authorization shall assess the actual dose received. A presentation of the facts and the result of the dose assessment, together with the underlying assumptions, shall be brought to the attention of the competent authority.

(4) The competent authority shall have either a replacement dose within the meaning of Section 10 (2) or the dose of person determined by the dose-measuring point as an effective dose, on the basis of the documents or own surveys submitted. to be determined as an equivalent dose.
