Programmes on existing exposure situations
Article 100
1. Member States shall ensure that measures are taken, upon indication or evidence of exposures that cannot be disregarded from a radiation protection point of view, to identify and evaluate existing exposure situations taking into account the types of existing exposure situations listed in Annex XVII, and to determine the corresponding occupational and public exposures. 2. Member States may decide, having regard to the general principle of justification, that an existing exposure situation warrants no consideration of protective or remedial measures. 3. Existing exposure situations which are of concern from a radiation protection point of view and for which legal responsibility can be assigned shall be subject to the relevant requirements for planned exposure situations and accordingly such exposure situations shall be required to be notified as specified in Article 25(2).
