CEH SSI IRSN NRPA (+ UMB) EA
Objectives of WP1 (Part 1) • Consult widely with industry and regulators to review regulatory approaches to chemical and radioactive substances. Emphasis on: • Regulatory instruments • Procedures • Underlying principles • Criteria • What is on the horizon (policy development)?
Objectives of WP1 (Part 2) • Identify similarities and differences in approaches between chemicals and radioactive substances • What are the endpoints for chemicals and radioactive substances? • To make recommendations for generating common approaches to the protection of the environment
WP2: Objectives • To evaluate the practicability of existing and developing approaches • To consider the acceptability and relevance of current approaches compared to the needs of industry and regulators and the different situations it may need to address • To test available approaches against any relevant ICRP recommendation or outputs from WP3 • To assess the availability, usability and transparency of available approaches to groups other than those involved in their development
WP2: What have we said we’re going to do? • Evaluate approaches to assess: • Practicability in regulatory context • Fitness for purpose/robustness • If they meet aspirations of regulators/industry identified by WP1 • Relative merits • ‘Cost’ • Accessibility to groups other than those involved in development • Overlap & difference with chemical assessment tools • Help WP3 evaluate benchmarks
WP3: Objectives ”derive and propose numerical target values for an extended list of ecological targets and protection levels, designed to assure compliance with environmental protection goals that resonate with protective goals set up for releases of hazardous substances in general, and to assess the implications for society at large”
WP3: Four work areas • The appropriate level of protection of the environment against ionising radiation • Derivation of numerical target values • Analysis of implications of derived values for practices • Interaction with regulators, industry, NGO’s and other experts
