Division 5.2Dose limits

57  Purpose of Division 5.2

  For paragraph 85(2)(a) of the Act, this Division prescribes practices and procedures to be followed, and measures to be taken, in relation to dose limits by controlled persons in relation to activities relating to controlled facilities, and in relation to dealings with controlled apparatus or controlled material.

58  Prescribed practice

 (1) The holder of a facility licence for a controlled facility must ensure that the doses to which a person is exposed, inside or in connection with the facility, do not exceed the effective dose limits mentioned in regulation 59, and the equivalent dose limits mentioned in regulation 62.

 (3) The holder of a source licence for dealing with controlled apparatus or controlled material must ensure that the doses to which a person is exposed while the source in the apparatus or material is under the holder’s control do not exceed the effective dose limits mentioned in regulation 59, and the equivalent dose limits mentioned in regulation 62.

 (4) The holder of a licence must ensure that radiation protection and safety of the following relating to the licence are optimised in order to achieve the outcome mentioned in subregulation (4A):

 (a) controlled material;

 (b) controlled apparatus (other than apparatus prescribed by these regulations that produce harmful nonionizing radiation when energised);

 (c) a controlled facility.

 (4A) For subregulation (4), the outcome is that the following are as low as reasonably achievable after taking into account economic and societal factors:

 (a) the magnitude of individual doses;

 (b) the number of people who are exposed;

 (c) the likelihood of incurring exposures to radiation.

 (5) The optimisation of radiation protection and safety mentioned in subregulation (4) must be in accordance with sourcerelated dose constraints established in accordance with the Planned Exposure Code and agreed by the CEO.

 (6) For apparatus prescribed by these regulations that produce harmful nonionising radiation when energised, the holder of a licence must ensure that exposure to people is kept to the lowest level that can be achieved, consistent with best practice.

59  Effective dose limits

 (1) The effective dose limit for occupational exposure is 20 mSv annually, averaged over 5 consecutive years.

 (2) However, the effective dose for a person subject to occupational exposure must not, in a year, be greater than 50 mSv.

 (3) The effective dose limit for public exposure is 1 mSv annually.

 (4) The effective dose limit for an unborn child is to be consistent with the effective dose limit for public exposure.

Note: See also the Planned Exposure Code for the obligation to consider additional controls in relation to female employees who are pregnant.

60  Effective doses

 (1) For regulation 59, a person’s effective dose for a relevant period is the sum of:

 (a) the effective dose that the person receives, from external exposure, during the relevant period; and

 (b) the person’s committed effective dose, received from intakes during the relevant period, for the next 50 years.

 (2) However, if the person is under 18, the committed effective dose must be worked out on the basis of the number of years calculated by subtracting the person’s age, at the time of the calculation, from 70.

 (3) For subregulation (1), a relevant period is:

 (a) for a controlled person—5 years; or

 (b) for a member of the public—1 year.

61  Dealings with controlled apparatus generating nonionizing radiation

  The holder of a source licence must ensure that all dealings with controlled apparatus generating nonionizing radiation comply with the appropriate exposure limits set out in the standards and codes mentioned in the table in clause 1 of Schedule 1.

62  Annual equivalent dose limit

 (1) For occupational exposure, the equivalent dose limit to the lens of the eye is 20 mSv annually, averaged over 5 consecutive years.

 (1A) However, the equivalent dose to the lens of the eye for a person subject to occupational exposure must not, in a year, be greater than 50 mSv.

 (1B) The equivalent dose to the lens of the eye for a person subject to public exposure must not, in a year, be greater than 15 mSv.

 (2) For occupational exposure, the annual equivalent dose limit to the hands and feet is 500 mSv.

 (3) The annual equivalent dose limit to the skin is:

 (a) for occupational exposure500 mSv; and

 (b) for public exposure50 mSv.

 (4) The annual equivalent dose limit to the skin applies to the average dose received by any 1 cm2 of skin.

Schedule 2Exempt dealings

(regulations 3A, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 38 and Schedules 3B and 3C)

Part 1Exempt dealings

1  Exempt dealings

  The following table sets out dealings that are exempt dealings.

 

Exempt dealings

Item

Description of dealing

1

The dealing involves a controlled material that has:

(a) an activity concentration less than the activity concentration value for the material set out in an item in the table in clause 2; or

(b) an activity less than the activity value for the material set out in that item.

2

The dealing is mixing 2 or more controlled materials.

The activity for each material being mixed is divided by:

(a) the activity value for the material set out in an item in the table in clause 2; or

(b) the activity concentration value for the material set out in that item, and then divided by the total mass of the mixture.

The results for all of the materials are added.

The total is 1 or less.

3

The dealing involves naturally occurring radon222 with an activity concentration of less than 1000 Bq/m3 in the special case of exposure in the workplace.

If the dealing includes any other controlled material, the use of the other material must also be an exempt dealing.

(n) a biological safety cabinet (laminar flow or biohazard) with a failsafe interlocking system;

(o) an embedded (enclosed) laser product with an accessible emission that is lower than the accessible emission limits of a Class 3B laser product, as set out in AS/NZS IEC 60825.1:2014, during normal operations.

(c) Caesium137 with an activity not greater than 200 kBq;

(d) Radium226 with an activity not greater than 20 kBq;

(e) Americium241 with an activity not greater than 40 kBq.

10

The dealing involves a geological sample that:

2  Activity concentration values and activity values for nuclides

  The following table sets out activity concentration values and activity values for nuclides.

Note 1: The activity of a progeny nuclide included in secular equilibrium with a parent nuclide is dealt with in regulation 3A. Parent nuclides and progeny nuclides are set out in the table in clause 3, and parent nuclides are also marked a in the following table.

Editorial changes

The Legislation Act 2003 authorises First Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial and presentational changes to a compiled law in preparing a compilation of the law for registration. The changes must not change the effect of the law. Editorial changes take effect from the compilation registration date.

If the compilation includes editorial changes, the endnotes include a brief outline of the changes in general terms. Full details of any changes can be obtained from the Office of Parliamentary Counsel.

Misdescribed amendments

A misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe the amendment to be made. If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, the amendment is incorporated into the compiled law and the abbreviation “(md)” added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history.

If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the abbreviation “(md not incorp)” is added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history.
