Table 2
Group B1 parameters and circumstances for monitoring to be used for sampling in water supply zones (or supply points)
1 Sampling for these parameters may be within water supply zones (Group B1) or at supply points (Group B2). | ||
2 Monitoring of this parameter in water supply zones is required only where sodium hypochlorite is added after water has left the treatment works. In other circumstances, monitoring is required at supply points, see Group B2. | ||
3 To monitor for indicative dose. | ||
4 In the event that a single sample is taken in a year, a further sample must be taken if there is any change in relation to that supply that could affect the concentration of radionuclides in the water supply. | ||
