OBJECTIVES OF EM ERGENCY SURVEYS 204. The p rim ary ob jectives of em ergen cy surveys are: (a) The rapid com pilation of inform ation, on a tim ely b a sis, on the magnitude and location of the p ossible hazards to the public fo r the purpose of defining the type and extent of any n ecessa ry cou nterm easu res o r other em ergen cy p roced u res (b) The assessm en t of any hazard from inhalation o r external radiation to serve as a basis fo r the planning of im m ediate cou nterm easu res (c) The rapid determ ination of the possible contam ination of foodstu ffs, including m ilk and drinking w ater, as a basis for d ecision s on rejection o r continued use (d) The p rovision of data n ecessa ry to a ssess the radiation doses actually received by m em bers of the public, taking into account any cou nterm easu res that have been applied (e) To provide inform ation fo r the public regarding the em ergen cy situation. Another benefit to be obtained from such em ergen cy surveys is: (f) The collection of scien tific inform ation on the resu lts of the em ergen cy and on the behaviour of the relea sed ra d ioactive m a teria l in the environm ent. Such inform ation m ay be useful in checking the adequacy of the m onitoring and accident m itigation system s and to determ ine whether any changes are required in the routine m onitoring p rog ra m m es.

The delegation of resp on sib ilities fo r the m onitoring of radioactive sou rces and m aterials varies a ccord in g to the adm inistrative p ra ctices adopted by the country. H ow ever, in gen eral, the resp on sibility fo r m onitoring is shared by both the op erator of the installation and the com petent au th orities. 302. There is no intention of defining in the follow ing paragraphs the concept of legal resp on sibility, but only of outlining the functions that could be assum ed by both the op erator and the com petent authorities. E ffective im plem entation of these functions depends heavily on clo se co-op era tion between the two p a rties. The op era tor who is resp on sible fo r the fa cility should be duly authorized by the com petent authority; the individual resp on sib ilities of both the operator and the com petent authorities should, how ever, be cle a rly defined by the national authorities [ 1 ]. THE OPERATOR 303. The functions of the operator usually are: (a) To prevent any unacceptable radiation o r contam ination hazard to the health of the public o r damage to the en viron ment resulting from the w ork perform ed within the in stallation a n d /or waste releases into the environm ent (b) To com ply with the applicable regulations (c) To provide the means fo r dealing with the con sequ en ces, outside the installation, of radiation accidents that may o ccu r within the installation, in agreem ent with the com petent authorities. 304. To ca rry out p rop erly these functions the op erator w ill n o r m ally have to: (a) P erform all n ecessa ry p re-op era tion a l investigations to serve as a basis fo r effectiv e environm ental m onitoring program m es (b) D esign, and provide means for p erform in g, adequate o ffsite environm ental m onitoring program m es fo r use during n orm al operation that w ill give assurance to the public 5
