Radiological impact on the environment

The objective of the review of the radiological impact of the nuclear power plant on the environment is to determine whether the operating organization has an adequate programme for surveillance of the radiological impact of the plant on the environment.

National authorities control radiological and other potential impacts by setting limits on new and existing operations to ensure that workers, members of the public, and the environment are not subjected to undue risks. With regard to the historic or so-called abandoned sites , intervention measures based on cost benefits analyses should be required rather than necessarily setting the same limits as for existing and operating mines.
