Table 2
Group B1 parameters and circumstances for monitoring to be used for sampling in water supply zones (or supply points)
| (1) Item number | (2) Parameter | (3) Circumstances |
|---|---|---|
(1) Sampling for these parameters may be within water supply zones (Group B1) or at supply points (Group B2). | ||

(3) To monitor for indicative dose. | ||
(4) In the event that a single sample is taken in a year, a further sample must be taken if there is any change in relation to that supply that could affect the concentration of radionuclides in the water supply. | ||
