National action plan for identifying existing exposure situations (KAVATTU)

Abstract

Article 100 of the Directive laying down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionizing radiation 2013/59/Euratom requires Member States to identify existing exposure situations. In this regard, Article 100 has been implemented in Finland in section 142 of the Radiation Act. This national action plan sets out procedures and proposes respon-sible parties to identify the above-mentioned situations. When an existing exposure situation has been identified, it is managed in accordance with the procedures laid down in chapter 17 (Existing exposure situations) of the Radiation Act.
