Regulation 2(1)
SCHEDULE 1E+W+SDOSES OF IONISING RADIATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF “RADIATION EMERGENCY”
1. An effective dose of 5 mSv in the period of one year immediately following the radiation emergency.E+W+S
Commencement Information
I1Sch. 1 para. 1 in force at 20.9.2001, see reg. 1
2. Without prejudice to paragraph 1—E+W+S
(a)an equivalent dose for the lens of the eye of 15 mSv in the period of one year immediately following the radiation emergency; and
(b)an equivalent dose for the skin of 50 mSv in the period of one year immediately following the radiation emergency over 1cm2 area of skin, regardless of the area exposed.
Commencement Information
I2Sch. 1 para. 2 in force at 20.9.2001, see reg. 1
3. In this Schedule—E+W+S
(a)any reference to an effective dose means the sum of the effective dose to the whole body from external radiation and the committed effective dose from internal radiation;
(b)any reference to equivalent dose to a human tissue or organ includes the committed equivalent dose to that tissue or organ from internal radiation;
(c)“external radiation” means, in relation to a person, ionising radiation coming from outside the body of that person; and
(d)“internal radiation” means, in relation to a person, ionising radiation coming from inside the body of that person.

PART IIE+W+SQuantity ratios for more than one radionuclide
1. For the purpose of regulation 3(2), the quantity ratio for more than one radionuclide is the sum of the quotients of the quantity of a radionuclide present Qp divided by the quantity of that radionuclide specified in the appropriate column of Part I of this Schedule Qlim, namely—E+W+S
Commencement Information
I5Sch. 2 Pt. II para. 1 in force at 20.9.2001, see reg. 1
2. In any case where the isotopic composition of a radioactive substance is not known or is only partially known, the quantity ratio for that substance shall be calculated by using the values specified in the appropriate column in Part 1 for `other radionuclides not listed above' for any radionuclide that has not been identified or where the quantity of a radionuclide is uncertain, unless the employer can show that the use of some other value is appropriate in the circumstances of a particular case, when he may use that value.E+W+S

2. In any case where the isotopic composition of a radioactive substance is not known or is only partially known, the quantity ratio for that substance shall be calculated by using the values specified in the appropriate column in Part I for “other radionuclides not listed above” for any radionuclide that has not been identified or where the quantity of a radionuclide is uncertain, unless the employer can show that the use of some other value is appropriate in the circumstances of a particular case, when he may use that value.E+W+S

An emergency plan drawn up pursuant to regulation 7, 8 or 9 respectively shall, in so far as it applies to any radiation emergency, be drawn up having regard to the following principles—
(a)the intervention shall be undertaken only if the reduction in the detriment due to the radiation resulting from the radiation emergency is sufficient to justify the harm and costs, including the social costs, of the intervention; and
(b)the form, scale and duration of the intervention shall be carried out in such a way as to ensure that exposures to radiation are kept as low as is reasonably practicable so that the benefit of the reduction in health detriment less the detriment associated with the intervention will be maximised.
