Details

The Environment Agency has new duties in accordance with the Basic Safety Standards Directive under which it is required to ensure that doses to individuals received from exposure to anthropogenic sources of radioactivity are within defined limits. In order to assess compliance with these requirements, the Environment Agency needs to assess the doses to members of the most highly exposed population groups (‘critical’ groups) from all relevant potential sources of anthropogenic radioactivity and all relevant potential exposure pathways to such radioactivity.
