Regulation 2(4)

PART 3 E+W+S Quantity and concentration ratios for more than one radionuclide

1.  For the purpose of Regulation 2(4)— E+W+S

(a) the quantity ratio for more than one radionuclide is the sum of the quotients of the quantity of a radionuclide present Q_p divided by the quantity of that radionuclide specified in the appropriate entry in Parts 1, 2 or 4 of this Schedule Q_lim, namely—

(b) the concentration ratio for more than one radionuclide is the sum of the quotients of the concentration of a radionuclide present C_p divided by the concentration of that radionuclide specified in the appropriate entry in Parts 1 or 2 of this Schedule C_lim, namely—

2.  In any case where the isotopic composition of a radioactive substance is not known or is only partially known, the quantity or concentration ratio for that substance is to be calculated by using the values specified in the appropriate column in Part 1 of this Schedule for “other radionuclides not listed above” for any radionuclide that has not been identified or where the quantity or concentration 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 the employer may use that value. E+W+S

SCHEDULE 8 E+W+S Transitional provisions and savings

1.—(1) In this Schedule— E+W+S

“the 1999 Regulations” means the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 M4 ;

“restated provision” means any provision of these Regulations so far as it corresponds (with or without modification) to a provision of the 1999 Regulations;

“superseded provision” means any provision of the 1999 Regulations as it has effect immediately before 1st January 2018 so far as it corresponds (with or without modification) to a provision of these Regulations.

(2) In this Schedule references to things done include references to things omitted to be done.

2.—(1) Any thing done, or having effect as if done, under or for the purposes of any superseded provision, if effective immediately before 1st January 2018, has effect, so far as is required for continuing its effect on and after that date, as if done under or for the purposes of the corresponding restated provision. E+W+S

(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply in relation to an authorisation granted or notification made under the 1999 Regulations.

(3) The specific provisions in paragraphs 3 to 10 are not to be taken to affect the generality of paragraph (1).

3.  Where on or before 5th February 2018 an employer commences work in respect of which a notification is required under regulation 5(2), it will be sufficient compliance with that regulation if the employer notifies the appropriate authority and provides the particulars required under regulation 5(2) on or before 5th February 2018.
