Reg. 3 Interpretation — 44 tal-2003 - Regolamenti tal-2003 Dwar is Sigurtà Nukleari u l-Protezzjoni mir-Radjazzoni Arranġament tar-Regolamenti Open official source

(1) In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires –

“absorbed dose” (D) means the energy absorbed per unit mass

D = dε/dm

Where

dε is the mean energy imparted by ionizing radiation to the matter

in a volume element, dm is the mass of the matter in this volume

element.

In these regulations, absorbed dose denotes the dose averaged over

a tissue or an organ. The unit for absorbed dose is the gray;

“accelerator” means an apparatus or installation, in which particles

are accelerated, emitting ionizing radiation with an energy higher than 1

mega-electron volt (MeV);

“accident” means any unintended event, including operating errors,

equipment failures or other mishaps, the consequences or potential

consequences of which are not negligible from the point of view of

protection or safety;

“accidental exposure” means an exposure of individuals as a result

of an accident. It does not include emergency exposure;

“Act” means the National Interest (Enabling Powers) Act;

“activation” means the process through which a stable nuclide is

transformed into a radionuclide by irradiating with particles or high-

energy gamma rays the material in which it is contained;

“activity”(A) means the activity, A, of an amount of a radionuclide

in a particular energy state at a given time and is the quotient of dN by

dt, where dN is the expectation value of the number of spontaneous

nuclear transitions from that energy state in the time interval dt

A = dN / dt

The unit of activity is the becquerel;

“ambient dose equivalent” means the quantity H*(d) at a point in a

radiation field, defined as the dose equivalent that would be produced

by the corresponding aligned and expanded field in the ICRU sphere at

a depth d on the radius opposing the direction of the aligned field. A

depth d = 10 mm is recommended for strongly penetrating radiation;

“Appeals Board” shall have the same meaning as is assigned to it

by article 2 of the Occupational Health and Safety Authority Act;

“apprentice” means a person receiving training or

instruction within an undertaking with a view to exercising a

specific skill;

“approved” means approved for the time being in writing for the

purposes of these Regulations by the Board, and published in such form

as the Board or the considers appropriate;

“approved dosimetric service” means a body responsible for the

calibration, reading or interpretation of individual monitoring devices,

or for the measurement of radioactivity in the human body or in

biological samples, or for assessment of doses, whose capacity to act in

this respect is recognized by the Board;

“approved medical practitioner” means a medical practitioner

responsible for the medical surveillance of category A workers, as

defined in Regulation 43(1), whose capacity to act in that respect is

recognized by the Board;

“approved occupational health service” means a body or bodies to

which may be assigned responsibility for the radiation protection of

exposed workers and/or medical surveillance of category A workers and

whose capacity to act in that respect is recognized by the Board;

“artificial sources” means radiation sources other than natural

radiation sources;

“authorization” means a permission granted in a document by the

Board application, or granted by national legislation, to carry out a

practice or any other action within the scope of these Regulations.

Authorisation can take the form of a registration or a licence.

“avertable dose” means the dose to be saved by a protective action;

that is, the difference between the dose to be expected with the

protective action and that to be expected without it.

“Becquerel” (Bq): the special name of the unit of activity. One

becquerel is equivalent to one decay per second;

“Board” means the Radiation Protection Board;

“calendar year” means a period of 12 calendar months beginning

with the 1st January;

“clearance levels” means values, established by the Board,

and expressed in terms of activity concentrations and/or total

aClIvlly. al or below which radioaclive subslam.:es or malerials

conlaining radioactive suhstances arising from any prat:ticc suhjecl

to the requirement of notilication or authorization may he released

from the requir~mcnts of these regulations

"comforter and carer" means an individual who (othcr than

as part of his occupation) kno\\ ingly and willingl) int:urs an

exposure to ionizing radiation resulting from the support and

comfort of another person who is undergoing or who has

undergont= any medical cxr(J~ur~

"committed c1Tcctiye dosc·' means lhe qllantit~ E(!"

Regulation 18

QUANTITIES AND CONCENTRATIONS OF RADIONUCLIDES

CRITERIA TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE APPLICATION OF

REGULATION 18

1.A practice or work activity may be exempted from the requirement to report

without further consideration, in compliance with Regulation 18 (1) (a) or (b)

respectively, if either the quantity or the activity concentration, as appropriate, of the

relevant radionuclides does not exceed the values in column 2 or 3 of Table A.

2.The basic criteria for the calculation of the values in Table A, for the application of

exemptions for practices or work activities, are as follows

(a) the radiological risks to individuals caused by the exempted practice or

work activity are sufficiently low as to be of no regulatory concern; and

(b) the collective radiological impact of the exempted practice or work

activity is sufficiently low as to be of no regulatory concern under the

prevailing circumstances; and

(c) the exempted practice or work activity is inherently without radiological

significance, with no appreciable likelihood of scenarios that could lead to a

failure to meet the criteria in (a) and (b).

3. Exceptionally, as provided in regulation 18 (1) (a) and (b), the Board may decide

that a practice or work activity may be exempted where appropriate without further

consideration, in accordance with the basic criteria, even if the relevant radionuclides

deviate from the values in Table A, provided that the following criteria are met in all

feasible circumstances

(a) the effective dose expected to be incurred by any member of the public

due to the exempted practice or work activity is of the order of 10 µSv or less

in a year; and

(b) either the collective effective dose committed during one year of

performance of the practice or work activity is no more than about 1 man · Sv

or an assessment of the optimization of protection shows that exemption is the

optimum option.

c) number of exempted practices or work activities at the same site and affecting

the same critical group(s) shall be determined by the Board on case by case

basis.

4. For radionuclides not listed in Table A, the Board shall assign appropriate values for

the total activities and concentrations of activity per unit mass where the need arises.

Values thus assigned shall be complementary to those in Table A.

5. The values laid down in Table A apply to the total inventory of radioactive substances

held by a person or undertaking as part of a specific practice or work activity at any point

in time and to a limited amount of radioactive material, not exceeding 1 tonne. (1000kg).

6. Nuclides carrying the suffix “+” or “sec” in table A represent parent nuclides in

equilibrium with their correspondent daughter nuclides as listed in Table B. In this case

the values given in Table A refer to the parent nuclide alone, but already take account of

the daughter nuclide(s) present.

7. In all other cases of mixtures of more than one nuclide, the requirement for

notification may be waived if the sum of the ratios for each nuclide of the total activity

present divided by the value listed in Table a is less than or equal to 1. This summation

rule also applies to activity concentrations where the various nuclides concerned are

contained in the same matrix.

Protection of workers undertaking intervention

(1) No worker undertaking an intervention shall be exposed in excess of the

maximum single year dose limit for occupational exposure specified in Schedule 3

except

(a) For the purpose of saving life or preventing serious injury; or

(b) If undertaking actions to prevent the development of catastrophic conditions.

When undertaking intervention under these circumstances, all reasonable efforts shall

be made to keep doses to workers below twice the maximum single dose year limit,

except for life saving actions, in which every effort shall be made to keep doses

below ten times the maximum single dose year limit, in order to avoid deterministic

effects on health. In addition, workers undertaking actions in which their doses may

approach or exceed ten times the maximum single dose year limit shall do so only

when the benefits to others clearly outweigh their own risk.

(2) Workers who undertake actions in which the dose may exceed the maximum

single dose year limit shall be volunteers and shall be clearly and comprehensively

informed in advance of the associated health risk, and shall, to the extent feasible, be

trained in the actions that may be required.

(3) Once the emergency phase of an intervention has ended, workers undertaking

recovery operations, shall be subject to the full system of requirements for

occupational exposure specified in these regulations.

(4) All reasonable steps shall be taken to provide appropriate protection during the

emergency intervention and to assess and separately record the doses received by

workers involved in such intervention. The doses received during intervention and

the associated health risk shall be communicated to the workers involved.

(5) Workers taking part in intervention shall not normally be precluded from

incurring further occupational exposure because of doses received in an emergency

situation. However, qualified medical advice shall be obtained before any such

further exposure, if a worker receives a dose exceeding ten times the maximum

single dose year limit, or at the worker’s request.

(1) It shall be the duty of the radiation employer to ensure that all

new classes or types of practice resulting in exposure to ionizing

radiation are justified, prior to being first adopted or first approved,

taking into account their economic, social or other benefits in relation to

the health detriment they may cause.

(2) The radiation employer shall review the justification of existing

practices or work activities or types of practice whenever new and

important evidence about their efficacy or consequences is acquired.

(3) In addition, the radiation employer shall ensure that

(a) in relation to exposures from any source within a practice or

work activity, protection and safety shall be optimized in order that the

magnitude of individual doses, the number of people exposed and the

likelihood of incurring exposures all be kept as low as reasonably

achievable, economic and social factors being taken into account, within

the restriction that the doses to individuals delivered by the source be

subject to dose constraints.

(b) without prejudice to regulation 23, the sum of the doses from all

relevant practices or work activities shall not exceed the dose limits laid

down in these regulations for exposed worker, apprentices and students

and members of the public.

Provided that paragraph (3)(b) this shall not apply to

a) medical exposures of individuals as part of their own medical

diagnosis or treatment,

b) to exposures of comforters and carers and

c) to exposures of volunteers participating in medical and

associated research programmes.

(4) The radiation employer shall ensure that the process of

optimization of protection and safety measures, which may range from

intuitive qualitative analyses to quantitative analyses using decision

aiding techniques, shall be sufficient to take all relevant factors into

account in a coherent way so as to contribute to achieving the following

objectives

(a) to determine optimized protection and safety measures for the

prevailing circumstances, with account being taken of the available

protection and safety options as well as the nature, magnitude and

likelihood of exposures; and

(b) to establish criteria, on the basis of the results of the

optimization, for the restriction of the magnitudes of

exposures and of their probabilities by means of measures for

preventing accidents and mitigating their consequences.

(5). The principle set out in paragraph (3) (a) shall apply to all

exposures to ionizing radiation resulting from the practices or work

activities referred to in regulation 4 (1).

(1) The radiation employer shall ensure that, except for medical

exposure, the optimization of the protection and safety measures

associated with any particular source within a single practice or work

activity shall be subject to dose constraints. The magnitude of the

generic dose constraint set by the Board is given in Schedule 3 of these

Regulations.

(2) The Board may establish guidance, which may include dose

constraints, on the appropriate procedures to be applied to individuals

who are comforters and carers or who are participating in medical and

biomedical research programs.

(1) Every radiation employer shall ensure that the normal exposure

of individuals shall be restricted so that neither the total effective dose

nor the total equivalent dose to relevant organs or tissues, caused by the

possible combination of exposures from ionising radiation from all

relevant practices or work activities, exceeds the relevant dose limit

specified in Schedule 3 for such class of person in any calendar year,

except in special circumstances provided for in regulation 23.

(2) Dose limits shall not apply to doses incurred by undisturbed

local background and to medical exposures from authorized practices.

(3) Where there is reasonable cause to believe that any worker has

been exposed to an effective dose greater than 20 mSv in any calendar

year, the employer shall, as soon as is practicable

(a) undertake an investigation into the circumstances of the

exposure for the purpose of determining whether the dose limit referred

to in the appropriate class in Schedule 3 is likely to be complied with;

and

(b) notify the Board of that suspected exposure.

(1) In exceptional circumstances, excluding radiological

emergencies and evaluated case by case, the Board, may, where

some specific operation so requires, authorize individual occupational

exposures of some identified workers exceeding the dose limits set out

in Schedule 3, provided that such exposures are

(i) limited in time,

(ii) confined to certain working areas and;

(iii) within maximum exposure levels defined for the particular case

by the Board.

(2) Any authorisations granted pursuant to paragraph (1) shall take

the following into account

(a) only category A workers as defined in regulation 28, and who

volunteer to do so, may be subject to specially authorized exposures;

(b) apprentices, students, pregnant women and breastfeeding

women who are likely to be bodily contaminated shall be excluded from

such exposures;

(c) the radiation employer shall carefully justify these exposures in

advance and thoroughly discuss them with the voluntary workers, their

representatives, the approved occupational health service or the

qualified expert;

(d) information about the risks involved and the precautions to be

taken during the operation shall be provided to the relevant workers in

advance;

(e) all doses relating to such exposures shall be separately recorded

in the individual dose record referred to in regulation 38 and the health

record referred to in regulation 45.

(3) The exceeding of dose limits as a result of specially authorized

exposures shall not necessarily constitute a reason by the employer for

excluding from his usual occupation or relocating the worker, without

the agreement of the worker.

(4) Protection of workers undertaking an intervention is specified in

Schedule 7 of these Regulations.
