Facilities
Types of facilities
This Standard addresses the design and operation of effluent monitoring programs for Class I nuclear facilities and uranium mines and mills.
These facilities include
(a) nuclear reactors;
(b) uranium mines, mills, refineries, and conversion plants;
(c) uranium fuel fabrication plants;
(d) isotope processing facilities;
(e) particle accelerators with a beam energy equal to or greater than 50 MeV; and
(f) waste management facilities.
Parts of this Standard could also be relevant to the design and operation of effluent monitoring programs for
(a) Class II nuclear facilities;
(b) institutions operating under the authority of a Nuclear Substances and Radiation Devices licence; and
(c) facilities that use or store naturally occurring radioactive materials.
However, in these situations, the operator of the facility or institution is responsible for determining the applicability and suitability of this Standard.
Facility lifecycle
The nature and extent of effluent monitoring requirements change over the lifecycle of the facility. This Standard addresses monitoring performed during
(a) site preparation, construction, and commissioning;
(b) operations; and
(c) decommissioning.
