Council Directive 2013/59/EuratomShow full title

(1)

Strategy for conducting surveys of indoor radon concentrations or soil gas concentrations for the purpose of estimating the distribution of indoor radon concentrations, for the management of measurement data and for the establishment of other relevant parameters (such as soil and rock types, permeability and radium-226 content of rock or soil).

(2)

Approach, data and criteria used for the delineation of areas or for the definition of other parameters that can be used as specific indicators of situations with potentially high exposure to radon.

(3)

Identification of types of workplaces and buildings with public access, such as schools, underground workplaces, and those in certain areas, where measurements are required, on the basis of a risk assessment, considering for instance occupancy hours.

(4)

The basis for the establishment of reference levels for dwellings and workplaces. If applicable, the basis for the establishment of different reference levels for different uses of buildings (dwellings, buildings with public access, workplaces) as well as for existing and for new buildings.

(5)

Assignment of responsibilities (governmental and non-governmental), coordination mechanisms and available resources for implementation of the action plan.

(6)

Strategy for reducing radon exposure in dwellings and for giving priority to addressing the situations identified under point 2.

(7)

Strategies for facilitating post construction remedial action.

(8)

Strategy, including methods and tools, for preventing radon ingress in new buildings, including identification of building materials with significant radon exhalation.

(9)

Schedules for reviews of the action plan.

(10)

Strategy for communication to increase public awareness and inform local decision makers, employers and employees of the risks of radon, including in relation to smoking.

(11)

Guidance on methods and tools for measurements and remedial measures. Criteria for the accreditation of measurement and remediation services shall also be considered.

(12)

Where appropriate, provision of financial support for radon surveys and for remedial measures, in particular for private dwellings with very high radon concentrations.

(13)

Long-term goals in terms of reducing lung cancer risk attributable to radon exposure (for smokers and non-smokers).

(14)

Where appropriate, consideration of other related issues and corresponding programmes such as programmes on energy saving and indoor air quality.
