Department · Nuclear Safety Case
Radiological Protection and Chemistry
Scope
Dose control, radiological work, contamination control, local rules, effluent and environmental monitoring, and plant chemistry control.
The reframing
"Radiological protection is often seen as a service to maintenance. Yet chemistry limits form part of the operating rules, and effluent monitoring is how the site shows it has control of leakage and escape. Its data feeds the safety case directly."
