- (i) the health risks arising from exposure to ionising radiation as a result of the radiation emergency, in both the long and the short term;
- (ii) the economic consequences of the radiation emergency;
- (iii) the effects of the disruption, both on the premises and the area immediately surrounding it, and on the public perception of the effects of the radiation emergency;
- (c) the necessity of avoiding, so far as possible, the occurrence of serious physical injury to any person; and
- (d) the necessity of ensuring that an appropriate balance is struck between the expected harms and benefits of any particular protective action so as to maximise the benefit of that action.
PART 2 — Purposes of emergency plans
2
Any person with responsibility for preparing an emergency plan under these Regulations must ensure that the plan, if implemented, would fulfil the following purposes—
- (a) to reduce or stop the effects of the radiation emergency;
- (b) to reduce the exposure to individuals and to the environment resulting from the release of ionising radiation;
