Definitions
Article (1)
For the purpose of this regulation, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below.
Other capitalised terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them

Internal Exposure Exposure to Ionizing Radiation from a source of radiation within
the body of an individual.
Linear Energy Transfer The average linear rate of energy loss of charged particle
(LET) radiation in a medium, i.e., the radiation energy lost per unit
length of path through a material. That is, the quotient of dE by
dl where dE is the mean energy lost by a charged particle owing
to collisions with electrons in traversing a distance dl in matter.
𝑑𝐸
𝐿=
𝑑𝑙
The unit of LET is J.m-1 often given in keV.μm-1
Low-LET Radiation Radiation with low Linear Energy Transfer, normally assumed
to comprise photons (including X rays and gamma radiation),
electrons, positrons and muons.
Normal Operation Operation within specified operational limits and conditions. For
a Nuclear Facility this includes start-up, Operation, shutting
down, Maintenance, testing and refuelling.
Optimisation The process of determining levels of Radiation Protection and
Safety that make Exposures and the probability and magnitude
of potential Exposures “as low as reasonably achievable
(ALARA) economic and social factors being taken into account”
as required by the International Commission on Radiological
Protection System of Radiological Protection.
Optimise, Optimised and Optimising shall be construed
accordingly.
Planned Exposure A situation of Exposure to Ionizing Radiation that arises from
Situation the planned Operation of sources of radiation or from planned
activity of Nuclear Facility including rehabilitation of the
previously occupied land. Practices in Operation are Planned
Exposure Situations.
Radiation Weighting A dimensionless factor by which the organ or tissue Absorbed
Factor Dose is multiplied to reflect the higher biological effectiveness
of high-LET radiations compared with low-LET radiations. It is
used to derive the Equivalent Dose from the Absorbed Dose
averaged over a tissue or organ.

Representative Person An individual receiving a Dose that represents the Doses of the
more highly-exposed individuals in the public.
Severe Accidents Accident Conditions more severe than a DBA and involving
significant core degradation
Tissue Weighting The multiplier of the Equivalent Dose to a tissue or organ used
Factor for Radiation Protection purposes to account for the different
sensitivities of different organs and tissues to the induction of
the stochastic effects of Ionizing Radiation.
Worker(s) Any Person who works full-time, part-time or on a temporary
basis for a Licensee and who has recognised rights and duties
in relation to occupational Radiation Protection.
2. The Effective Dose Limit to a Worker who is subjected to Occupational Exposure(s) during
the Commissioning, Normal Operation, including Anticipated Operational Occurrences
and Decommissioning, of a Nuclear Facility is an average of 20 millisieverts (mSv) per
year over a period of five years (100 mSv in 5 years) with no single year exceeding 50
mSv.
3. The Equivalent Dose Limit for the lens of the eye of a Worker is an average of 20 mSv per
year over a period of 5 years (100 mSv in 5 years) with no single year exceeding 50 mSv.

4. The Equivalent Dose Limit for the extremities (i.e. hands, feet and forearms) of a Worker
in a Nuclear Facility is 500 mSv per year.
5. The Equivalent Dose Limit for the skin (i.e. the average dose over 1 cm2 of the most highly
irradiated area at any point of the skin) of a Worker in a Nuclear Facility is 500 mSv per
year.
7. If a female Worker has informed the Licensee that she is breastfeeding an infant, the
Licensee shall ensure that the said female Worker is not employed in work involving risk
of Internal Exposure.
8. The Licensee shall ensure that no Person under the age of 16 years is subjected to
Occupational Exposure.
9. The Licensee shall ensure that no Person of age 16 to 18 years is allowed to work in a
Controlled Area unless under supervision and only for the purpose of training for
employment involving Occupational Exposure to Ionizing Radiation.
10. The Dose Limits for Persons of age 16 to 18 years who are being trained for employment
involving Occupational Exposure to Ionizing Radiation is as follows:
b. The Equivalent Dose Limit for the lens of the eye is 20 mSv per year;
c. The Equivalent Dose Limit for the extremities and to the skin is 150 mSv per year.
11. In order to demonstrate compliance with the Dose Limits for Occupational Exposure
defined in this regulation, the Licensee shall apply the methodology and Dose coefficients
set out in the most recent ICRP publications on Occupational Exposures, internal and
external, that shall be effective in the State at the beginning of the year following the
issuance of such ICRP publications.
2. The Effective Dose Limit to a member of the public is 1 mSv per year.
3. The Equivalent Dose Limit to the lens of the eye of a member of the public is 15 mSv per
year.
4. The Equivalent Dose Limit for the skin (i.e. the average dose over 1 cm2 of the most highly
irradiated area at any point of the skin) of a member of the public is 50 mSv per year.
5. In order to demonstrate compliance with Dose Limits for Public Exposure, the Licensee
shall apply the methodology and Dose coefficients set out in the most recent ICRP
publications that shall be effective in the State at the beginning of the year following the
issuance of such ICRP publications.
2. The Licensee shall determine a Dose Constraint for the Occupational Exposure of Workers
in line with international good practice in similar Nuclear Facilities and shall Optimise
Radiation Protection below that determined Dose Constraint, which shall serve as a target
for Design, Commissioning, Operation and Decommissioning of the Nuclear Facility.
3. The Dose Constraint for Occupational Exposure determined in accordance with Article 5.2
shall be subject to the agreement of the Authority.
2. The Licensee shall determine a Dose Constraint for the Public Exposure of the
Representative Person of the public in line with international good practice in similar
Nuclear Facilities, and shall ensure an optimal level of Radiation Protection below that
determined Dose Constraint, which shall serve as a target for Design, Commissioning,
Operation and Decommissioning of the Nuclear Facility.
3. The Dose Constraint for Public Exposure determined in accordance with Article 6.2 shall
be subject to the agreement of the Authority.
