(3) From the start of 1st November 2020, these Regulations shall be complied with in full, save that—
(a)any test of an emergency plan carried out in the three years prior to the coming into operation date is to be treated as though it were a test undertaken pursuant to regulation 12; and
(b)within 6 months of the coming into operation date, if an operator has complied with its obligations under these Regulations in full, that operator may continue to work with ionising radiation or commence work with ionising radiation, as the case may be, although the Executive has not arranged for the preparation of an off-site emergency plan as required by these Regulations, where the Executive, exceptionally, determines that it would be reasonable so to do.
