19、原則 https:/elearning.iaea.org/m2/course/view.php?id=1010 Suggestion.1 The new CBSS should adopt the“Situation-based”system.采用基于“照射情況”的防護體系 02 Evolution of BSS 11 Global status of BSS 各國各國BSS的修訂情況的修訂情況 Some countries have already revised their BSS following GSR Part 3,e.g.EU set a deadline of 2018 for
20、 Member States.Canada and Korea also revised BSSs in 2021.Some countries are considering to initiate the revision process,like China and Japan.2000s 2011 2013 2014 2018 2021 GSR Part 3 GSR Part 3(Interim)IAEA US(2001):10 CFR Part 20 China(2002):GB 18871 Russia(2009):NRB-99/2009 EU:Council Directive

22、情況制定劑量限值,并不一定完全采用IAEA的IBSS。For example:there are different eye lens dose limit of occupational exposure.GSR part 3(2014)20 mSv per year averaged over five consecutive years(100 mSv in 5 years),50 mSv in any single year France(2018)20 mSv over twelve consecutive months Canada(2021)50 mSv in one-year
23、dosimetry period(For nuclear energy workers)02 Evolution of BSS 13 Special concerns when revising BSS 各國特殊考慮各國特殊考慮 Many countries separate regulatory and technical requirements of IBSS into different documents,according to their own legal or regulatory systems,for example:Australia BSS is defined by

25、 Protection in Existing Exposure Situations(2017)RPS G-3 Guide for Radiation Protection in Emergency Exposure Situations(2019)Notice that the content structure of CBSS(GB 18871)is almostly equivalent to the IAEA BSS 115,It mixed requirements of regulatory and technical aspects in one document,which
26、was in line with Chinas past legal system,and has benefit as well as drawback.Suggestion 2.The revision of CBSS should consider whether to separate regulatory and technical content or not.需要考慮是否分離是否分離監管和技術內容 Introduction 引言 01 01 Evolution of BSS BSS演變簡介 02 02 Considerations about BSS in China GB 18

29、ng from industry development 行業發展新需求 16 The concept of the“graded approach”has become an essential part of the radiation protection,and has been introduced and increasingly used in recent ICRP publications and IAEA Safety Standards.ICRP/IAEA近期報告中都越來越重視分級方法的應用。ICRP 122 on Geological Disposal of Long-

31、sources.Current CBSS implicitly referred to“graded approach”but didnt explicitly introduce the concept.GB 188871隱含了“分級方法”的內容,但并未明確引入該概念。3.1 new IBSS:graded approach 分級方法 17 China has already established classification and graded approach through many documents for radiation sources,accidents,waste,d

35、aded approach”should be introduced clearly and applied through the whole new CBSS.應當明確引入并全方位應用“分級方法”18 Although situation-based approaches are more applicable,the 3 exposure situations are categorized from 2 different perspectives/dimensions,bringing some unclarified issues.三種照射情況的分類,本質上是采用了“狀態”和“時間
36、”兩個維度,不可避免地會帶來一定交叉。The classification of emergency exposure depends on whether the situation is unexpected or normal.The distinction between existing and planned exposure is based on time.“Existing”for“past”,“planned”for“future”.For instance,the transition from emergency to existing situation may oc
37、cur progressively over time.3.1 new IBSS:exposure situations 照射情況界定 Planned Existing Past Future Emergency Unexpected Normal Overlap Suggestion 4.The new CBSS should try to clearly clarify the classification criteria.應當盡可能明確三類照射情況的界定準則。19 After the decrease of eye-lens dose limit of IBSS,CIRP has do
