Chapter 2. Sanitary and epidemiologic requirements to ensuring radiation safety

6. Radiation safety of personnel, the population and the environment is considered secure if the basic principles of radiation safety (reasons, optimization, regulation) and the requirements established by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan of April 23, 1998 "About radiation safety of the population", Hygienic standard rates and these Health regulations are observed.

The principle of reasons is applied when designing new sources of radiation and radiation objects, in case of issue of licenses, approval of the specifications and technical documentation on use of sources of radiation, and also in case of change of conditions of their operation. Practical realization of the basic principles of ensuring radiation safety is carried out according to the approaches stated in annex 3 to these Health regulations.

In case of radiation accident the principle of reasons belongs not to sources of radiation and conditions of radiation, and to protective measure.

As the size of advantage it is necessary to estimate the dose prevented by this action. The actions directed to recovery of control over radiation sources are held without fail.

The principle of optimization is applied in the conditions of normal operation of sources of radiations according to appendix 3 to these Health regulations.

In case of radiation accident when instead of limits of doses higher levels of intervention are effective, the principle of optimization is applied to protective measure taking into account the prevented dose of the radiation and damage connected with intervention.

The principle of regulation is provided with all physical persons and legal entities on which the level of radiation of the person depends and provides not excess of the individual limits of doses of radiation of citizens set in Hygienic standard rates from all sources of radiation.

For control of the effective and equivalent doses of radiation regulated by Hygienic standard rates the admissible levels of monofactorial impact (for one radionuclide depending on way of receipt or one type of external radiation) which are derivative of the main limits of doses are entered: capacities of dose, annual receipt of radionuclides in organism and other indicators.

Derivative standard rates in case of radiation from technogenic sources of radiation as in normal, and in an emergency, except for medical radiation of patients (further - technogenic radiation) are calculated for monofactorial impact and each of them exhausts all limit of dose, their use is based on condition not of excess of unit by the amount of the attitudes of all controlled sizes towards their admissible values.

Quotas for the main technogenic sources of radiation are applied to the prevention of use of the dose limit set for the population only on one technogenic source of radiation or on their limited quantity.

Reasons for values of quotas contain in projects of radiation objects. The instruction for establishment of quotas for radiation of the population from separate technogenic sources of radiation are given in appendix 4 to these Health regulations.
