EIS approach to radiation safety
Comply with the ICRP and other legal requirements
Current operation• Compliance with licence conditions and ICRP requirements• Operational ALARA (Justification, Optimisation, Limitation)
Expansion• Build on existing radiation practices• Dose assessment for expanded facilities• Optimisation in design through;
• Training and awareness of design engineers• Radiation risk workshops• Radiation safety in design• Design criteria
