3 Energy EURATOM LEGAL BASIS FOR RADIATION PROTECTION

4 Energy Euratom Treaty. Rome, 25 March Article 2: “… the Community shall … establish uniform standards to protect the health of workers and of the general public”. Article 31 : "The basic standards shall be worked out by the Commission after it has obtained the opinion of a group of … scientific experts  "Art.31 Group of Experts (GoE)"

5 Energy Euratom Radiation Protection Law. Euratom " Basic Safety Standards " (BSS) Directives » Binding Law for all EU Member States » First adopted in 1959, covers workers and public » Regular revision, current Directive 96/29/Euratom. Supplementing legislation in other areas » Medical, Directives 84/466/Euratom and 97/43/Euratom » Outside workers, Directive 90/641/Euratom » Foodstuff contamination » Etc. Euratom BSS

10 Energy EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN THE REVISED EURATOM BSS

11 Energy. Preamble. Chapter I: Subject matter and Scope. Chapter II: Definitions. Chapter III: System of radiation protection. Chapter IV: Requirements for radiation protection education, training and information. Chapter V: Justification and regulatory control of practices. Chapter VI: Protection of workers, apprentices and students. Chapter VII: Protection of patients and other individuals submitted to medical exposure. Chapter VIII: Protection of members of the public. Chapter IX: Protection of the environment. Chapter X: Requirements for regulatory control. Chapter XI: Final provisions. 16 Annexes TOTAL: 109 Articles, 73 pages Structure

12 Energy. MS shall ensure that an adequate legislative and administrative framework is established for providing appropriate radiation protection education, training and information to all individuals whose tasks require specific competences in radiation protection. Appropriate education, training and retraining shall be in place to allow the recognition (by the competent authority) of RPE, MPE, occupational health services and dosimetry services. Member States shall lay down provisions to ensure the continuity of expertise of these services and experts National Infrastructure

13 Energy. Changes in definitions (Chapter II) of competent services and experts and their roles (Chapter X) » Radiation Protection Expert (RPE) Replaces the Qualified Expert from 96/29/Euratom » Introduction of Radiation Protection Officer (RPO) » New definition of Medical Physics Expert (MPE) » Detailed consideration of functions of RPE, MPE and RPO » Emphasis on (state) recognition and continuity of expertise Services and Experts (1)

14 Energy. Radiation Protection Expert (RPE) » an individual having the knowledge, training and experience needed to give radiation protection advice in order to ensure effective protection of individuals, whose capacity to act is recognized by the competent authorities » advice on occupational and public exposure, e.g. for plans for new installations, classifications of areas and workers, monitoring, QA, emergency arrangements, training of workers.. » external or internal advisor, could be carried out by a group of specialists Services and Experts (2)

15 Energy. Radiation Protection Officer (RPO) » an individual technically competent in radiation protection matters relevant for a given type of practice who is designated by the undertaking to oversee the implementation of the radiation protection arrangements of the undertaking » optional, when required by MS » no need of recognition by the competent authority » reports directly to management » task of the RPO can be carried out by a radiation protection unit established within an undertaking Services and Experts (3)

16 Energy. Medical Physics Expert (MPE) » an individual having the knowledge, training and experience to act or give advice on matters relating to radiation physics applied to medical exposure, whose competence to act is recognised by the competent » increased involvement and wider responsibilities commensurate with complexity and the radiation risk balanced with roles and responsibilities of other clinical staff » task of the MPE may be carried out by a group of specialists who together have the necessary expertise Services and Experts (4)

17 Energy. RPE – advises on » optimisation, e.g. dose constraints » plans for new or modified installations / sources » categorisation of areas » classification of workers » quality assurance » waste management » workplace and individual monitoring programmes » monitoring instrumentation » environmental monitoring » prevention of accidents and incidents. RPO – performs tasks » ensure work is carried out in accordance with specified procedures or local rules » maintain adequate records of radiation sources » supervise implementation of workplace monitoring » supervise implementation of the personal monitoring » supervise implementation of the health surveillance programme » carry out periodic assessments of safety and warning systems Services and Experts (5)

18 Energy. RPE – advise on » preparedness and response in emergency » investigation and analysis of accidents and incidents and remedial actions » training of workers » employment conditions for pregnant and breastfeeding workers » prior risk assessments and written procedures » liaise with RPO » may be assigned RPO tasks, if provided by legislation. RPO – performs tasks » participate in emergency prevention, preparedness and response » introduce workers to local rules and procedures » information and training of exposed workers » establish and/or advise and comment on work plans » liaise with the radiation protection expert Services and Experts (6)

19 Energy Other E&T requirements. New Chapter IV: Requirements for Radiation Protection Education, Training and Information » Grouping existing requirements on E&T of Exposed workers, apprentices and students Workers potentially exposed to orphan sources Emergency workers Medical staff » Changes made wherever deemed necessary

20 Energy RECENT AND ONGOING EU PROJECTS FOR E&T IN RP

21 Energy

22 Energy » March 2009 – December 2012 » ENETRAP III – M. Coeck » August 2013 – 2016 » network of excellent teaching centres to prepare courses for MPE in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology » set up a multi-campus Educational and Training platform » course to be either accredited or serve as an example FP7 Projects

23 Energy FUTURE ACTION

24 Energy Transposition by 6 February 2018 Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions to comply with this Directive Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of national law Euratom Treaty, Art. 33: Member States shall communicate to the Commission … draft provisions Any recommendations the Commission may wish to issue with regard to such draft provisions shall be made within three months EU BSS Transposition

25 Energy Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom, EC transposition follow-up EC review of draft national provisions 28 Member States, same deadline only three months for review – unrealistic Need to act early, establish continuous process and collaborate with MS early exchange on national plans, deadlines, etc. general workshop to discuss national plans – late 2014 topical workshops, e.g. on medical, E&T, etc. – formal Art. 33 submission – mid-late 2017 Some of the work to be outsourced EU BSS Transposition

26 Energy TAKE HOME POINTS

27 Energy. The EU BSS have just been revised. The new EU BSS introduces changes in E&T and in roles & responsibilities for RP. 28 EU countries will go through legislation and practice changes over the next four years. Some recent EU projects have provided help in implementing the legal changes. Further support will be available through EU projects and collaborative European action. We will succeed if we cooperate
