Re: Regulatory structures in Great Britain and Europe?
Dear Karin,
a) A research was carried out in Europe in the period 1996-1999 by the
NATIONAL RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION BOARD (NRPB, by John Stather. There is a
publication about this research “Radiation protection research in
Europe 1996-1999”. I do not have such document, however you can get it. I
suggest you to contact the NRPB Information Service at
information@nrpb.org.uk
b) I sent to you private e-mail two pdf files from the OECD-NUCLEAR ENERGY
AGENCY (NEA)

(ii) NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY ACTIVITIES-2
Both dealing with legislation, Laws. Decrees, Amendment of the Decrees on
Radiation Safety, in several countries, not only european, many of them

in relation to medical exposure. This directive suplements Directive 96/29

Subject: Regulatory structures in Great Britain and Europe?
> Hi,

> I have North America sorted out, but would like some help from radsafers
> especially those in Europe and Great Britain. What is the name of your

and
> the EURATOM treaty? Are all member countries legally bound to to harmonize
> their radiation protection regulations with other neighbouring nations or
> can they establish standards which may differ significantly? What role do
> the Basic Safety Standards play?
