PART E — Radioactive substances

General principles and monitoring frequencies

1

• (1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), Scottish Water in relation to a supply of water must ensure that the water is monitored for radon, tritium and indicative dose.

• (2) Where the Scottish Ministers, by notice to Scottish Water, confirm that they have established that radon, tritium or, as the case may be, indicative dose is not likely to be present in relation one or more supplies of water, for a period specified in the notice, in concentrations which could exceed the prescribed concentration or value for the parameter, Scottish Water is not required to monitor any such supply of water for the parameter during the period specified.

• (3) In case of naturally occurring radionuclides—

• (a) where previous results show that the concentration of radionuclides in one or more supplies of water is stable, the minimum sampling and analysis frequencies are to be decided by the Scottish Ministers, and confirmed by notice to Scottish Water, taking into consideration the risk to human health; and

• (b) where the Scottish Ministers, by notice to Scottish Water, confirm that they are satisfied (on the basis of representative surveys, monitoring data or other reliable information) that levels of radon, tritium and the calculated indicative dose in one or more supplies of water will, for a period specified in the notice, remain below the prescribed concentration or value for each of these parameters at the point of compliance, Scottish Water is not required to monitor any such supply for these parameters during the period specified.

• (4) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Radon

2

• (1) Subject to paragraphs 5 and 6, Scottish Water must ensure that representative surveys are undertaken to determine the scale and nature of likely exposures to radon in the water originating from different types of ground water sources and wells in different geological areas.

• (2) The surveys must be designed in such a way that underlying factors, and especially the geology and hydrology of the area, radioactivity of rock or soil, and well type, can be identified and used to direct further action to areas of likely high exposure.

• (3) Monitoring of radon concentrations must be carried out if Scottish Water has reason to believe, on the basis of the results of the representative surveys or other reliable information, that the prescribed concentration or value for radon might be exceeded.

Tritium

3

• (1) Subject to paragraphs 5 and 6, Scottish Water must monitor the water for tritium where—

• (a) an anthropogenic source of tritium or other artificial radionuclides is present within the catchment area for the supply; and

• (b) it cannot be shown on the basis of other surveillance programmes or investigations that the level of tritium is below the prescribed concentration or value for tritium.

• (2) Where monitoring for tritium is required by sub-paragraph (1), samples must be taken in accordance with paragraph 6.

• (3) If the concentration of tritium in any such sample exceeds the prescribed concentration or value for tritium, Scottish Water must carry out an investigation of the presence of other artificial radionuclides.

Indicative dose

4

• (1) Scottish Water must monitor the water for indicative dose where—

• (a) a source of artificial radioactivity or elevated natural radioactivity is present; and

• (b) it cannot be shown on the basis of other representative monitoring programmes or other investigations that the indicative dose is below the prescribed concentration or value for that parameter.

• (2) Where sub-paragraph (1) requires monitoring (of radionuclide levels) only in relation to a source of artificial radioactivity, samples must be taken in accordance with paragraph 6.

• (3) Where sub-paragraph (1) requires monitoring (of radionuclide levels) in relation to a source of elevated natural radioactivity, Scottish Water must determine the frequency of the monitoring required of—

• (a) gross alpha activity;

• (b) gross beta activity; or

• (c) individual natural radionuclides,

depending on the screening strategy adopted pursuant to Part F of this schedule.

• (4) Where sub-paragraph (3) applies, the frequency determined may vary from a single check measurement to the frequency which would otherwise apply by virtue of paragraph 6.

• (5) Where a single check for natural radioactivity is specified under sub-paragraph (3), Scottish Water must carry out a further check if any change occurs in relation to the supply which is likely to influence the concentrations of radionuclides in the supply.

Water treatment

5

Where the water is treated to reduce the level of radionuclides, Scottish Water must monitor the water for indicative dose, radon and tritium in accordance with paragraph 6 to verify the continued efficacy of that treatment.

Minimum sampling and analysis frequencies

6

The minimum sampling and analysis frequency for the monitoring of radon, tritium and indicative dose in water (where required by this schedule) from a public water supply system or from a tanker or used in a food production undertaking is set out in the following table.

Where the prescribed concentration or value for radon, tritium or, as the case may be, indicative dose is exceeded in a sample of the water, the Drinking Water Quality Regulator for Scotland must specify, by notice to Scottish Water, the extent of resampling necessary to ensure that the measured values are representative of an average activity concentration for a full year.

PART F — Indicative dose

Monitoring for compliance with the indicative dose

1

• (1) Scottish Water, in relation to water, may use reliable screening strategies to indicate the presence of radioactivity in the water.

• (2) These strategies may include screening for—

• (a) certain radionuclides or an individual radionuclide; or

• (b) gross alpha activity or gross beta activity.

Screening for certain radionuclides or for an individual radionuclide

2

• (1) Where screening of the water is carried out for certain radionuclides or for an individual radionuclide, Scottish Water must carry out an analysis of additional radionuclides if, in relation to any supply referred to in paragraph 1—

• (a) one of the activity concentrations of a radionuclide referred to in the second column of the table below exceeds 20% of the corresponding derived concentration in the third column; or

• (b) the tritium concentration exceeds the prescribed concentration or value for tritium.

• (2) Scottish Water must, in deciding which radionuclides require to be measured for each supply, take into account all relevant information about likely sources of radioactivity.

Screening for gross alpha activity and gross beta activity

3

• (1) Scottish Water may use screening strategies for gross alpha activity and gross beta activity (or, where appropriate, residual beta activity after subtraction of the potassium-40 activity) to monitor the water for indicative dose.

• (2) Subject to sub-paragraph (3), screening levels must be set at—

• (a) 0.1 Bq/l for gross alpha activity; and

• (b) 1.0 Bq/l for gross beta activity.

• (3) Scottish Water may set alternative levels to those specified in sub-paragraph (2) if it can demonstrate that these will ensure that an indicative dose of 0.1 mSv is not exceeded.

• (4) If the gross alpha activity is less than 0.1 Bq/l and the gross beta activity is less than 1.0 Bq/l, Scottish Water may assume that the indicative dose is less than 0.1 mSv.

• (5) Where sub-paragraph (4) applies, Scottish Water is not required to carry out a radiological investigation unless it is aware—

• (a) that specific radionuclides are present in the water; and

• (b) that these are liable to cause an indicate dose in excess of 0.1 mSv.

• (6) If the gross alpha activity exceeds 0.1 Bq/l or the gross beta activity exceeds 1.0 Bq/l, Scottish Water must carry out an analysis for specific radionuclides.

• (7) Scottish Water must, in deciding which radionuclides require to be measured for the purposes of sub-paragraph (6), take into account all relevant information about likely sources of radioactivity.

• (8) If elevated levels of tritium are detected in a sample, Scottish Water must also measure the gross alpha activity and gross beta activity in that sample.

Calculation of the indicative dose

4

• (1) The indicative dose must be calculated from—

• (a) the measured radionuclide concentrations and the dose coefficients laid down in Table (A) of Annex III to Council Directive 96/29/Euratom laying down basic safety standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionizing radiation; or

• (b) more recent information recognised by the Scottish Ministers,

on the basis of an annual intake of water of 730 litres for adults.

• (2) Where the following formula is satisfied, Scottish Water may assume that the indicative dose is less than 0.1 mSv and that no further investigation is required:—

$$∑i=lnCi (obs)Ci (der)) ≤1$where—“Ci (obs)” refers to the observed concentration of radionuclide “i”;“Ci (der)” refers to derived concentration of radionuclide “i”; and“n” refers to the number of radionuclides detected.$
