Monitoring for Compliance with Exemption and Clearance Levels

Radioactive material is present in the environment and is also generated during the operation and subsequent decommissioning of facilities that have used or produced radioactive material. Particularly during decommissioning, a large amount of material may be generated that is below the activity limits requiring regulatory control. This Safety Report focuses on the development and practical implementation of strategies for demonstrating compliance with the established exemption and clearance levels. It provides valuable information for operators, regulatory bodies and other organizations that are involved in the monitoring of material for its release from regulatory control.
