7. For Schedule 1 Part 2 (Indicator Parameters) substitute—
Parameters | Maximum concentration or value or state (unless otherwise stated) | Units of measurement |
---|---|---|
(1) The water should not be aggressive. | ||
(2) Excluding tritium, potassium-40, radon and radon decay products. | ||
(3) Where treatment to reduce the level of radionuclides in water intended for human consumption has being taken, monitoring must be carried out under Schedule 3 Part 1 to ensure the continued efficacy of treatment. | ||
(4) If the gross alpha activity exceeds 0.1Bq/l or the gross beta activity exceeds 1.0Bq/l analysis for specific radionuclides is required. | ||
(5) Remedial action is deemed to be justified on radiological protection grounds, without further consideration, where radon concentrations exceed 1000Bq/l. | ||
(6) If tritium concentration exceeds its parametric value an investigation (which may include analysis) of the presence of other artificial radionuclides must be carried out. | ||
(7) Only in the case of surface water treatment where the parametric value should be strived for the water ex-treatment works.” | ||
