1 The water must not be aggressive. | ||
2 Excluding tritium, potassium-40, radon and radon decay products. | ||
3 Where treatment to reduce the level of radionuclides in water intended for human consumption has been taken, monitoring must be carried out under Schedule 3 Part 1 to ensure efficacy of treatment. | ||
4 If the gross alpha activity exceeds 0.1Bq/l or the gross beta activity exceeds 1.0Bq/l analysis for specific radionuclides is required. | ||
5 If tritium concentration exceeds its parametric value an investigation (which may include analysis) of the presence of other artificial radionuclides must be carried out. | ||
