RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES;ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

These Regulations are part of a package of measures to transpose Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM laying down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation and repealing Council Directive 89/618/Euratom, 94/491/Euratom, 96/29/Euratom, 97/43/Euratom and 2003/122/Euratom (the Basic Safety Standards Directive). Most of the transposition measures are being dealt with by amending or replacing existing statutory instruments. These regulations cover provisions in relation to planned public exposure situations and existing public exposure provisions by amending the Radioactive Substance Act 1993 Chapter 12, the Radioactive Substances Exemption (Northern Ireland) Order 2011, the High-activity Sealed Radioactive Sources and Orphan Sources Regulations 2005, the Radioactive Substances (Basic Safety Standards) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 and the Radioactive Contaminated Land Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006.
