The presentation by the Minister for Social Affairs and Health of the Minister for Social Affairs of 27 March 1991 (592/91) Pursuant to:
This Regulation concerns the use of ionising radiation and other radiation exposure to ionising radiation.
For the purposes of the use of nuclear energy, this Regulation shall apply to: (592/91) (1) provides for.
At the equivalent dose Means the arrival of an average shift of energy and radiation weighting per unit mass per unit mass per unit mass.
Efetive Is defined as the weighted sum of the equivalent doses of tissues and organs exposed to radiation.
The equivalent dose and the effective dose unit are sievert (Sv).
Monitoring of radiation exposure Means measures for the control and determination of radiation exposure of workers engaged in radiation work by monitoring and monitoring of working conditions affecting exposure to radiation. (23.12.19981143)
Euratom Treaty Means the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community. (31.12.1994/15)
In addition to what radiation law provides or provides for, the radiation protection centre shall be responsible for:
(1) acts as a control body within the meaning of Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty; and
(2) carry out regulatory tasks, liaison tasks and reporting tasks for the implementation of radiation safety oversight under the Euratom Treaty.
The effective dose resulting from radiation work to an employee shall not exceed the average of 20 millisievert (mSv) per year over a period of five years and no value of 50 mSv in any given year.
The equivalent dose of the eye shall not exceed 150 mSv per year and the equivalent dose of hands, feet or skin at 500 mSv per year.
After 16 years of age, but a young person under 18 years of age is involved in the use of radiation sources due to his vocational training, the effective dose resulting from it must not exceed 6 mSv per year. The equivalent dose of the eye shall not exceed 50 mSv per year and the equivalent dose of the hands, feet or skin at a value of 150 mSv per year.
The fetus should be protected in the same way as the population. When a woman has indicated that she is pregnant, her work must be arranged in such a way that the fetal equivalent dose is as low as practicable, and at least during the remainder of the pregnancy, does not exceed 1 mSv.
When a woman has indicated that she is breast-feeding, she should not be kept in a position where the body may have significant amounts of radioactive material.
The use of radiation shall be designed and arranged in such a way that the effective dose to a non-irradiated person does not exceed the value of 1 mSv during the year. The equivalent dose of the eye shall not exceed the value of 15 mSv during the year. The equivalent dose of the skin at a value of 50 mSv.
More detailed guidance on the application of maximum values and radiation dose calculation will be given by the Radiation Protection Centre.
If necessary, the Radiation Protection Centre shall set limit values below the maximum values laid down in Articles 3 to 6 ( Dose limitations ) when justified in order to implement the principle of optimisation provided for in Article 2 of the radiation law and to take account of exposure from different sources of radiation.
For the application of maximum exposure values, radiation exposure resulting from the medical use of radiation shall not be taken into account:
(1) a person whose body or part of the body is intentionally subjected to a medical procedure; and
(2) the person who knowingly and voluntarily and, in the interests of his profession, help the person to whom the radiation is applied in the medical procedure.
The decision of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health lays down criteria for the limitation of exposure to radiation in medical examinations and other procedures in which a person is subjected to radiation for purposes other than sickness To investigate or treat.
For the application of the maximum exposure limit values, no account shall be taken of the exposure to radiation in order to limit the risk of radiation resulting from the accident and to control the source of the radiation source. These measures should be organised in such a way as to minimise the exposure to radiation from the situation.
Where radiation exposure arising from the measures referred to in paragraph 1 may exceed one of the dose limits laid down in Article 3, the performance of the measures shall be voluntary. They must be aware of the risk associated with the measures. Exposure to all direct measures shall be determined and subjected to health surveillance equivalent to those laid down for the health surveillance of workers in the category A.
If the question is not the saving of human lives, the effective dose of the person involved in the measures referred to in this article shall not exceed the value of 0,5 Sv or the equivalent dose of any part of the skin at 5 Sv.
Where the immediate measures necessary to limit the risk of radiation and to control the source of radiation have been carried out, protection work and other measures to mitigate the consequences of the accident shall be subject to the provisions laid down in Article 3 Dose limits. The protection of workers, radiation monitoring and health surveillance must be organised in the same way as radiation work is provided.
Pregnant women shall not be carried out either in the event of an accident or after taking measures which result in exposure to radiation.
Radiation work is a job where the worker's radiation exposure may exceed the maximum values laid down in Article 6.
Workers performing radiation work are classified as follows:
(1) Radiation category A includes the workers to whom the effective dose resulting from the work is taken into account, taking into account the possibility of an event leading to an abnormal exposure to radiation exposure, or may be greater than 6 mSv per year; or An equivalent dose greater than three-tenths of the dose limits prescribed for the eye, skin, hands and feet; and
(2) Radiation category B includes workers who are not included in the category A.
For workers in the category A radiation category A, dose monitoring shall be provided to monitor the radiation doses resulting from work. The monitoring shall be based on a personal dose measurement or other personal dose determination.
If the quality of the activity is required, in addition to the individual dose measurement, the other dose monitoring methods approved by the Radiation Security Centre should be used, so that the radiation exposure of each worker in category A can be Determine.
The operator shall ensure that the results of the dose monitoring are communicated to the relevant worker and the corresponding doctor.
The monitoring of working conditions affecting workers' exposure to radiation shall be organised in such a way as to meet the following requirements:
(1) it is possible to verify, on the basis of the monitoring, that the workers are classified as 'A' and 'B' according to appropriate criteria;
(2) the exposure of workers to radiation may be determined; and
(3) Unpredictable deviations from the factors affecting the radiation exposure of workers can be detected without delay.
Dose monitoring shall be provided to the non-radiation category A workers to the extent justified to comply with the requirements laid down in paragraph 1.
The doctor responsible for the health surveillance of workers in category A of radiation category A should be familiar with the health and safety implications of radiation.
The health surveillance officer shall, where appropriate, liaise with the Radiation Security Centre where the observation made in the health surveillance may give rise to an explanation as to whether the worker was exposed to any abnormal radiation.
More detailed guidance on the implementation of health surveillance will be given by the Radiation Security Centre.
The operator shall without delay inform the workers concerned, the doctor responsible for the health surveillance of the workers and the Radiation Security Centre:
1) or suspected of exceeding the dose limit;
(2) excess of the dose restriction referred to in Article 7; and
(3) the result of the dose monitoring or observation of working conditions, which is significantly different from that of safety, which is typical of that working or working place.
The operator shall be responsible for the identification and reporting of abnormal radiation exposures and the implementation of the necessary corrective measures.
The application for a safety authorisation shall include the following information as required by the quality and extent of the use of the radiation:
1) the purpose of the radiation;
(2) the location of the radiation and the sources of radiation to be used;
3) protection and safety systems to be used;
(4) the organisation of radiation exposure monitoring;
(5) the treatment and harmlessness of radioactive waste;
(6) an organisation report; and
(7) other information relevant to operational safety.
The application shall be accompanied by the applicant's official certificate or, where the applicant is a private entity or foundation, an extract from the relevant register.
The holder of a safety authorisation shall lodge a security as referred to in Article 19 of the Radiation Act for the purpose of rendering the radioactive waste harmless and the cost of the necessary environmental cleaning measures In order to ensure that the amount of these costs is estimated at more than 500 000 marks.
The amount of the security shall be assessed and the amount of the security shall be determined by the radiation protection centre when issuing a safety authorisation. At the same time, if the security is required, it must be made conditional on the fact that the operations may not commence until the documents certifying the security have been released to the radiation protection centre.
The guarantee is approved by a bank's guarantee or insurance company law (1062/79) Credit insurance provided by the insurance company.
The Radiation Protection Centre shall be submitted within two weeks of notification:
(1) the introduction of a radiation device;
2) the decommissioning of the irradiation device;
(3) the replacement of the Director responsible for the safety of radiation;
(4) the essential modification of the radiation control organisation;
(5) partially or completely terminating the use of radiation.
If the planned change is so essential that it requires a modification of the safety authorisation, an application for this purpose shall be made in good time before the commencement of the operation.
The radiation protection centre shall be notified without delay:
(1) an abnormal occurrence related to the use of radiation which would result in a significant risk to safety at or around the place of use of radiation;
(2) the loss, anassis or otherwise of the source of radiation from the holder of the authorisation; and
(3) from other abnormal observations and information relevant to the radiation safety of workers or the environment.
