Off-site public dose control by minimization of releases

A dose constraint should be defined for a research reactor to ensure that the effective dose to any member of the critical group is unlikely to exceed any relevant dose limit, with account taken of cumulative releases from all sources and practices under control. [Pg.40]

Authorized limits on discharges should be set for the facility. These authorized limits should be consistent with public dose constraints, as determined by using appropriate release and dispersion models. Authorized limits should be set on the discharges per unit time (i.e. weekly, monthly and annually). [Pg.40]

Authorized limits on discharges for a given facility should not be exceeded. However, the management of a research reactor may set its own reference levels, derived on the basis of optimization and within the authorized limits. [Pg.40]

Releases of gaseous and liquid radioactive material should be recorded to demonstrate compliance with authorized limits on discharges. Records should be kept of the generated waste, including the planned duration and place of temporary on-site storage. [Pg.40]
