Abstract
This paper highlights the issue of exemption within the framework of parallel Agency activities to revise both the Transport Regulations and the Basic Safety Standards. Specifically, the paper examines the current regulatory approach to exemption as contained in the 1985 Edition of the Regulations. It then discusses, with respect to exemption, the progress made to date in the revision of the Regulations, which are due for publication in 1986. Finally, the paper draws some conclusions from a review of the exemption values and supporting text that are presented in the fourth draft of the Basic Safety Standards. The Transport Regulations call upon the Basic Safety Standards as a general provision for radiological protection, and exemption is a major aspect of the Standards. It is therefore important that the two publications are consistent with each other. There are recognized benefits in using the same values for exemption in transport as in other practices. However, adopting the values for exemption presented in the draft Standard will be a major change to the Regulations. Nevertheless, there is a general willingness to keep the Regulations abreast of developments in radiological protection and in line with any international consensus one exemption principles and values.
