Radiological conditions due to external sources

The radiological conditions in the environment at the plant site, with account taken of the radiological effects of neighbouring plant units and other external sources, if any, should be described in sufficient detail to serve as an initial reference point and to permit the regulatory body to develop a view of the radiological conditions at the site. 

A short description may be presented of the radiation monitoring systems available and the corresponding technical means for the detection of any radiation or radioactive contamination. If appropriate, this section may reference other relevant sections of the SAR concerned with the radiological aspects of hcensing the plant.
