ARPANSA’s Radiation Health Services provide a suite of environmental monitoring and assessment services to support regulatory assurance activities.
The objective of ARPANSA’s regulatory assurance monitoring and assessment program is to independently verify that the licence holder’s environmental monitoring programs are appropriate to demonstrate protection of people and the environment. Additionally, the information obtained helps to confirm ARPANSA’s regulatory position and supports decision making. ARPANSA’s program does not attempt to fully replicate or replace the operator’s environmental monitoring.
Services include:
- independent environmental sampling and analysis (ground and surface water, sediment, vegetation, wildlife etc.)
- analysis of air filters
- joint monitoring programs and split-sample analysis
- backpack, mobile or permanent/continuous gamma monitoring
- review of plans and arrangements for monitoring, sampling, analysis, modelling, dose assessments and risk assessments.
