• It was incorporated into the European Treaty (to which Ireland is a signatory) in 1987.▪ Disposal limits in licence conditions relating to the disposal of radioactive waste in Ireland are generally set at levels such that it can be demonstrated that doses to the public will be very low (less than 10 µSv/year).

• Disposal limits and norms have been assessed and management procedures drafted.

• It is assumed this situation is likely to occur (i.e. probability of unity), so the risk equates to a committed effective dose of 17 µSv. Disposal limits that lead to calculated doses≤17 µSv from 5 hr/y exposure, will result in much less than 20 mSv dose from 40 hr/y exposure.A described above, doses from an hour spent closely inspecting surface contaminated blocks are compared against a dose criterion of 20 µSv, i.e. a dose rate limit of 20 µSv/hr.
