EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The purpose of the Radiation Regulations 2002 is to reduce the
radiation dose limits applicable to radiation workers and members of the public
in the ACT. The limits will be aligned with the values contained in the
“Recommendations for limiting exposure to ionizing radiation (1995)”
published by the National Health and Medical Research Council
(NHMRC).
The NHMRC Recommendations include amended definitions for the
quantities used in radiological protection and the regulations also adopt these
definitions.
