[...] Objectives

The primary objective of the Article 35 verifications is to establish the efficiency of the facilities installed for the measurement of environmental radioactivity and of radioactive discharges, and to establish the adequacy of the environmental monitoring programme. The efficiency and adequacy are assessed in relation to the overall approach developed at national level to ensure the protection of members of the public in compliance with the Basic Safety Standards (Council Directive 80/836/EURATOM, amended by Council Directive 84/467/Euratom, and replaced by Council Directive 96/29/EURATOM).

The Commission holds the view that the environment starts where the radioactive discharges pass out of operational control. The verifications, therefore, include the equipment for monitoring the gaseous and liquid discharges of plants.
