abstract = {THE NEW EU BASIC SAFETY STANDARDS DIRECTIVEP.Hill,
B.Heuel-Fabianek Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, S, 52425
Jülich, GermanyEuratom Treaty (1957): Article 30 of the
treaty together with Article 2 and Article 31 is the legal
basis for establishing European basic safety standards for
the protection of people against dangers arising from
exposure to ionising radiations. They shall ensure the
highest possible protection of workers, members of the
public and patients. European Basic Safety Standards: The
first directive was adopted in 1959. In 1962, 1966, 1976,
1980, 1984 and 1996 the Directive was amended. Following a
legislative resolution of the European Parliament the latest
revision (Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom) was adopted by
the European Council on December,15th 2013 and published in
the Official Journal of the European Union on January 17th,
2013. It combines five existing Euratom Directives (BSS,
Medical Exposures, Public Information, Outrside Workers and
Control of High-Activity Sealed Radioactive Sources and
Orphan Sources) and a recommendation (Radon). All 28 member
states of the European Union have to implement the new
Directive and transform it into national regulation by
February 6th, 2018. Main features: The 2013 revision covers
all radiation sources (including natural radiation) as well
as all exposure situations. It integrates the protection of
workers, members of the public, patients and the
environment. It is based on latest scientific findings and
recommendations as e.g. ICRP publication 103 (2007). The
dose limit for occupational exposure is now 20 mSv in any
single year. A new dose limit has been adapted for the lens
of the eye (20 mSv per year). National dose registries are
required and a dose pass book is foreseen. Workers in
workplaces with Radon, workers in NORM industries, air/space
crews and emergency workers are consistently treated
according to the occupational radiation protection regime.
In the protection of members of the public special emphasis
is given to protection from natural sources of radiation
(e.g. Radon), to existing exposure situations (e.g.
contaminated areas) and planned exposure situations (e.g.
environmental monitoring). The protection of patients is
improved by strenthening the safety culture in the medical
area (e.g. justification, risk analysis, informed consent).
Deliberate exposures of individuals for non-medical purposes
(e.g. detection of concealed objects in or on the human
body) are restricted and need a sound justification.
Emergency preparedness demands e.g. the risk assessment of
potential emergency sitiuations, the establishment of
reference levels and the establishment of emergency response
plans. In emergency response an immediate notification of
the event. assessment of the consequences, appropriate
protective measures to mitigate the consequences and
information of the public is foreseen.},
