Article 2. This approach applies to the prevention and control of radioactive contamination and electromagnetic radiation contamination in the administrative areas of the self-government area.

Military or related to facilities, the control of the pollution of equipment and its supervision are carried out in accordance with the relevant national provisions.

Article 3

Radiological contamination means activities such as the operation of civilian nuclear facilities, the use of nuclear technology, the exploitation of radioactive mineral resources, the handling of radioactive wastes and storage, which result in material material, human, location, environmental surfaces and internal radioactive material or a radiation line exceeding national standards.

The contamination of electromagnetic radiation refers to the electromagnetic energy generated by electromagnetic radiation facilities and equipment in the environment or to the intensity of national standards.

The electromagnetic radiation facilities and equipment refer to electromagnetic radiation facilities and equipment included in national-mandated electromagnetic radiation construction projects and equipment.

The level of immunity refers to the limits of the Department's executive authorities for environmental protection and the administrative authorities for environmental protection in the self-government area from management of an electromagnetic radiation activities.

Article IV. Radi pollution control adheres to the principles of scientific planning, prevention and association, strict management and safety.

The above-mentioned environmental protection authorities are responsible for monitoring the environmental protection of radiation in the present administration. The environmental protection authorities of the self-governing area may entrust the radiation environment monitoring bodies to which they belong.

The executive authorities, such as hygienic, public safety, development and reform, economic and informationization, radio television, transport, quality technical supervision, business administration, science and technology, are responsible for the protection of radiation within their respective statutory responsibilities.

The above-mentioned environmental protection authorities should include radiation pollution prevention and control in environmental protection accountability systems, organize awareness-raising, universal access to radioactive pollution control laws, regulations, and raise citizens' scientific awareness of radiation, and strengthen self-protection awareness and capacity.
