11 Atomic Energy Licensing (Basic safety Radiation Protection) Regulations 2010 Introduction Atomic Energy Licensing (Basic Safety Radiation Protection) Regulations 2010 [P.U.(A) 46] replaced the [Radiation Protection (Basic Safety Standards) Regulations, 1988] Come into operation on 15th February 2010; and Describe the principles of radiation protection and safety such as, system of dose limitation (justification, optimization), medical exposure, operational radiation protection and role of licensee and radiation worker. 11

12 Atomic Energy Licensing (Basic safety Radiation Protection) Regulations 2010 Dose limit for workers 8. (1) The limit on the effective dose for a worker shall be 20 millisieverts (msv) in a calendar year, where the maximum effective dose on the worker averaged over a period of five consecutive years shall not exceed 20 msv commencing from the time as specified by the appropriate authority. Dose limit for members of the public 9. (1) The limit on effective dose for a member of the public shall be 1 msv in a calendar year 12

13 ATOMIC ENERGY LICENSING (RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT) REGULATIONS, COMMENCEMENT: REGULATIONS COME INTO OPERATION ON 16 AUGUST APPLICATION: SHALL APPLY TO ALL ASPECTS OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE AND WASTE MANAGEMENT ARISING FROM MEDICAL, INDUSTRY, RESEARCH & ANY OTHER APPLICATION WHICH MAY BE SPECIFIED BY THE BOARD. 3. INTERPRETATION: CLEARANCE LEVEL THE VALUES ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD AND EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF ACTIVITY CONCENTRATION OR TOTAL ACTIVITY, AT OR BELOW WHICH THE SOURCE OF RADIATION MAY BE RELEASED FROM CONTROL (2nd SCHEDULE)

14 EXEMPTION 1. ATOMIC ENERGY LICENSING (EXEMPTION) (LOW LEVEL RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL) CALIBRATION SOURCE, CHECK SOURCE, 2. ATOMIC ENERGY LICENSING (EXEMPTION) (SMALL AMANG FACTORY) Small Amang Factory means any factory processing amang which may cause exposure of ionizing radiation to the whole body of a worker not exceeding 50 milisieverts (msv) per annum.

15 CODE OF PRACTICE ON RADIATION PROTECTION RELATING TO TECHNICALLY ENHANCED NATURALLY OCCURRING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL (TENORM) IN OIL AND GAS FACILITIES CONTROL LIMIT: External dose rate 0.5 usv/h Contaminated materials: External dose rate at 5 cm from surface 0.5 usv/h Waste categorization based on TAC: Total Activity Concentration (TAC) 3.0 Bq/g (inclusive b/ground) Waste disposal: - Dose to critical group 0.3 msv/y 15
