1. National progress in establishing national radon measuring capacity in Bosnia and Herzegovina October 2017 Yerevan, Armenia
Bosnia and Herzegovina
State Regulatory Agency for Radiation and Nuclear Safety

2. Introduction Legal framework Operational capacities for measurements
Equipment for measurements
About measurements in general
Conculsion

3. Legal framwork At this point of time:
Regulation on environmental monitoring – no Rn-222
Regulation on technical services – Rn -222 in air & water, no soil
Regulation on concentration limits for radionuclides – Art building materials (Ra-226, K-40 & Th-232)
No Regulation on NORM
Radon on working places 1000 Bq/m3

4. Legal framwork cont‘d In the plan
New Regulation on environmental monitoring – 2013/59/Euratom & 2013/51/Euratom
Regulation on NORM – Rn-222
Update of radon on working places

5. Operational capacities for measurements
2 authorized technical services for Rn-222 air
3 authorized technical services for environment
1 investigation laboratory
1 authorized laboratory with ISO/IEC 17025
Interests joining forces
New laboratories

6. Equipment for measurements
At this point of time
< 300 charcoal canisters
1 Alpha GUARD type PQ 2000 PRO/MC50
Radosys
Few CR-39
Announcement of new Alpha GUARD

7. Equipment for measurements cont‘d
In the plan
New CR-39 (No not specified)
Analyzing in or out of BoH???
New active detector???

8. About measurements in general
At this point of time
Done by order or investigation basis
Passive method - cca 72 hours
Gamma spectrometry
Past data
No measurements of building materials

9. About measurements in general cont‘d
In the plan
Initial survey followed by mapping
In public buildings, dwellings & soil
All measurements by ISO/IEC 17025
Measurements of building materials
Closer cooperation with „non-radiation“ inspectorates

10. Conclusion Good legal framework basis
Operational capacities could be improved
Equipment has to be improved & upgraded
Measurements need to be updated & expanded

11. Thank you!
