  1. Article 1 (1) This regulation establishes: 1. Conditions and order for development of emergency plans; 2. Persons who implement the emergency plans and their obligations; 3. Actions and measures for mitigation and liquidation of the consequences of a nuclear or radiological accident, hereinafter “accident” ; 4. Methods for informing the general public; 5. Order of maintaining and testing the emergency preparedness. (2) With this regulation the order of interaction between the licensee or the relevant permit holder, according to the Act of Safe Use of Nuclear Energy (ASUNE) and the central and local executive body, is also established in implementation of the measures, laid down in art.1 (1) p.3.

  2. Article 2 (1) The actions and measures for mitigation and liquidation of the consequences of an accident are planed, determined and implemented on the basis of radiation risk assessment and the type of facility, category of the radioactive source (in accordance with Annex No 1), site or practice creating the risk and also the emergency class, hereinafter “emergency”. The method for calculating the category of a radioactive source is given in Annex No 1. (2) For optimizing the requirements for actions and measures pursuant to art.2 (1) and for the purposes of the emergency planning, the sites, facilities and practices are categorized in one of the following threat categories: 1. Threat category I – nuclear facilities in which postulated initiating on-site events, including events of very low probability, could lead to an accident with significant release of radioactive substances in the environment and cause severe deterministic health effects off-site. 2. Threat category II – nuclear facilities in which the on-site emergency events could lead to an accident for which the projected dose could exceed the dose limits for the population off-site, which requires implementation of urgent protective measures on- site. 3. Threat category III – nuclear facilities and sites with radioactive sources in which postulated on-site emergency events could lead to an irradiation or radioactive contamination of the environment above the permitted thresholds, which requires implementation of urgent protective measures on-site. 4. Threat category IV – practices with nuclear materials and sources of ionizing radiation (SIR) that could lead to an accident in place, which cannot be foreseen or determined in advance, such as transport of nuclear materials and radioactive substances, practices with gamma flaw detectors and other portable dangerous sources, including practices with dangerous sources which are illegally obtained. 5. Threat category V – facilities and practices which are not directly related to SIR, but for which there is high probability of contaminating the production and uncontrolled spread of radioactive substances during their exploitation as a result of accident in threat categories I and II, or in other matters which can require implementation of protective measures. (3) In any particular threat category the following facilities, sites and practices are included: 1. In threat category I: a) nuclear reactors with thermal power greater than 100 MW; b) spent fuel pools which contain total activity of 137Cs greater than 0,1.1018 Bq or nuclear materials in a quantity, equivalent to the inventory of a reactor core with thermal power 3000 MW; c) nuclear facilities and sites with disperse radioactive substances (liquids, gases, powdered, flammable, soluble, pyrophoric materials) in quantities enough to lead to severe deterministic effects off-site; 2. In threat category II: a) nuclear reactors with thermal power greater than 2 MW and less than or equal to 100 MW; b) spent fuel pools which contain spent fuel which requires active cooling; c) facilities located on-site in a distance less or equal to 500 m from the protected zone boundaries in which could occur uncontrolled chain reaction; d) nuclear facilities and sites with disperse radioactive substances (liquids, gases, powdered, flammable, soluble, pyrophoric materials) in quantities which can require implementation of urgent protective measures off-site; 3. In threat category III: a) nuclear reactors with thermal power less than or equal to 2 MW; b) facilities located on-site in a distance greater than 500 m from the protected zone boundaries in which could occur uncontrolled chain reaction; c) nuclear facilities and sites with disperse radioactive substances (liquids, gases, powdered, flammable, soluble, pyrophoric materials) in quantities which can require implementation of urgent protective measures on-site; d) facilities with radioactive sources which can cause external exposure with dose rate greater than 10 mGy/h at a distance of 1 m from the source if the source’s shield is damaged; 2 4. In threat category IV: a) transport of radioactive sources corresponding to categories 1, 2 or 3 which are dangerous if not controlled; b) practices with mobile radioactive sources which can cause external exposure with dose rate greater than 10 mGy/h at a distance of 1 m from the source if the source’s shield is damaged; c) practices with mobile dangerous radioactive sources, including artificial satellites containing radioactive sources; 5. In threat category V: a) Facilities for recycling and melting metal waste and scrap; b) national border check points, including airports and ports;

  3. Article 3 Depending on the possibility of control the processes during an accident and the severity of its consequences, and for the purposes of emergency response, an emergency in facilities, sites and practices is classified into one of the following classes: 1. “General emergency” Class is an accident including actual or potential release of radioactive substances and exposure of the personnel and population, which requires implementation of urgent protective measures for the population; pronouncement of General emergency requires urgent protective measures to be promptly taken to reduce the accident’s consequences and to protect the personnel and population; 2. “Site area emergency” Class is an accident including a significant reduction of protection level of personnel and persons in the radiation protection area; pronouncement of a Site area emergency requires immediate actions to be promptly taken to mitigate the consequences of the accident and to protect the personnel and also requires preparation for taking protective measures for the population; 3. “Facility emergency” Class is an accident including a significant reduction of the protection level of personnel without any risk for the population; pronouncement of a Facility emergency requires immediate actions to be promptly taken to mitigate the accident’s consequences and to protect the personnel; 4. “Alert” Class is given when events occur, the result of which is that protection level is uncertain or significantly decreased; pronouncement of an Alert requires actions to be taken to evaluate the situation and measures to be taken to increase the preparedness for implementation of the emergency plans; 5. “Other emergencies” Class such as find, loss or theft of a dangerous source, including re-entry of satellites containing dangerous sources.

  4.

CHAPTER III EMERGENCY RESPONSE Part 1 Order of emergency response

  24. Article 22 (1) Emergency response is performing actions for limiting and reducing of the consequences of an accident on the health and safety of the personnel and population, quality of life, property and the environment, as well as it can provide the basis for resumption of normal social and economic live after liquidating the consequences of the accident. (2) The practical aims of the emergency response are: 1. establishment of control upon the development of the emergency; 2. mitigating and/or liquidating the accident’s consequences 3. prevention of deterministic effects occurrence for the personnel and population; 4. prompt and appropriate treatment of irradiated people; 5. mitigating the probability for occurrence or mitigating as far as it’s possible the occurrence of stochastic health effects for the population; 6. prevention or mitigation as far as it’s practically possible the occurrence of non- radiation risks for the personnel and population, such as toxic substances release in case of fire, explosions, floods, collapses, etc. 7. prevention as far as it’s practically possible of the property; 8. preparation for restoration of the social and economical life.

  25. Article 23 (1) The licensee or the relevant permit holder maintains permanent preparedness for actions in case of accidents. (2) The licensee or the relevant permit holder maintains in readiness permanent emergency team, members of which are preliminary defined by the on-site emergency plan. (3) Emergency teams in accordance with (2) are assured with the necessary methodologies and programs for analysis, evaluation and predictions of radiation consequences, as well as with technical, transport and communication tools and individual means for protection.

  26. Article 24 In case of emergency the licensee or the relevant permit holder make operational the on-site emergency plan and by approved scheme notify MI via DGFSCP-MI, the Chairman of NRA, as well as the executive bodies who are relevant to liquidating the consequences of the 19 emergency, including protecting the casualty site and forming of operative investigation group in accordance with the emergency plans.

  27. Article 25 (1) A person, who registers contamination with radioactive substances within the country, notifies the Chairman of NRA and the duty officer of DGFSCP-MI. (2) In case NRA receives information about a potential threat of transboundary release, the Chairman of NRA notifies the Minister of interior via the duty officer of DGFSCP-MI and other competent MI-bodies.

  28. Article 26 (1) For sites with threat categories I and II and in case of transboundary release, the prime- minister with an order makes operational and hence ceases the implementation of the off- site emergency plan on a national level. (2) Until the off-site emergency plan is implemented, the Chairman of NHCC defines the implementation of urgent protective measures for the population when it is required by the emergency’s development. (3) The executive bodies and the licensee or the relevant permit holder via their emergency teams, posts for early notification and radiation monitoring and specialized laboratories, give data and information about the radiation situation and emergency’s development to NHCC, DGFSCP-MI and NRA in form, order and deadlines defined with the off-site emergency plan. (4) The Ministry of Interior works through the units which assist it’s activity, processes initial assessment, check and analysis of the information, predicts the emergency’s development and defines protective measures for the population in cooperation with the Minister of health, the Minister of environment and water and the Chairman of NRA. (5) In certain cases depending on the specific protective measure by proposal of NHCC decision for its implementation is taken by the Council of Ministers.

  29. Article 27 For sites with threat categories III, IV and V the Director of DGFSCP-MI implements the Standard Operation Procedures (SOP), included as annexes in the National Plan for Disaster Defense (NPDD) and hence ceases its implementation.

  30. Article 28 (1) Depending on the threat category, the emergency teams implement the emergency plans under the following requirements: 1. reduction the time of presence in places and areas, contaminated with radioactive substances; 2. procession of actions on maximum distance from the radioactive source; 3. usage of protective barriers and manipulators when it is possible; 4. usage of individual means of protection. (2) For implementation of all requirements in (1).p.1 and 2, sites and areas contaminated with radioactive substances are fenced, marked and decontaminated when it is possible. 20 (3) The emergency teams members check constantly their individual radiation doses and when reaching the established control limits, they immediately leave the emergency area. (4) For all emergency team members an individual monitoring and medical observation are assured.

  31. Article 29 (1) To prevent the distribution of radioactive contamination: 1. People, animals, transport means, materials, technical tools and other objects, contaminated with radioactive substances leave the places and areas, contaminated with radioactive substances only after decontamination; 2. out of the cases, described in p.1. leaving of places and areas, contaminated with radioactive substances is allowed when: a) people and objects, contaminated with radioactive substances, are isolated in a way which hinders the dispersion of radioactive substances; b) surface contamination of the isolating means does not exceed 20 part./cm2.min for beta-radionuclides and low-toxic alpha-radionuclides and 2 part./cm2.min for all other radiotoxicity groups of alpha-radionuclides; c) the equivalent dose rate at any point of the surface of the transport vehicle does not exceed 2 mSv/h and on the driver’s seat and accompanying persons – 10 µSv/h. 3. animals, contaminated with radioactive substances, inhabit specially separated places. (2) In case, when it’s necessary to process urgent life-saving measures, injured people contaminated with radioactive substances are brought out the sites and area contaminated with radioactive substances, under constant medical control and personal monitoring.

  32. Article 30 During an emergency all consequences as well as the efficiency of intervention are evaluated and documented.

  33. Article 31 (1) After ending the actions of mitigating and liquidating the consequences of the emergency, by proposal of NHCC the Council of Ministers accepts if necessary a program for implementation of long-term protective measures for the people and environment. (2) The program in accordance with (1) should ensure, in an optimal degree, limitation of the effect of harmful health, ecological, social and economic consequences of the emergency. Part 2 Intervention

  34. Article 32 (1) An intervention is an implementation of protective measures and all other actions for limiting, mitigating and preventing the irradiation or the possibility of irradiation and the harmful consequences for the human health, quality of life, property and environment in case of emergency, chronic irradiation or previous actions. 21 (2) Intervention is implemented on: 1. the source of radioactive contamination – for limiting or ceasing the direct irradiation and disposal of radioactive substances in the environment; 2. the environment – for limiting the transfer of radioactive substances on humans; 3. humans – for limiting the irradiation and effective treatment of irradiated people. (3) The intervention is a base for recovery of normal conditions for social and economic life after liquidation of the consequences of the emergency. (4) The intervention is defined on the base of: 1. criteria for decision-making and intervention levels; 2. predictions for the emergency’s development; 3. possible results of implementation of various protective measures; 4. priority of health and social aspects before the economic considerations; 5. other economic, social and psychological factors. (5) Intervention is implemented only when: 1. the advantage of mitigating the harmful effect of irradiation is enough to justify the caused harms of the intervention and the expenses on it, including the social price; 2. the type, range and duration of implemented protective measures are optimized so the advantage of intervention compared with caused harms to be maximal. (6) The implementation of protective measures is not postponed by expectation of radiation monitoring results which to confirm the predictions made. (7) The implementation of a protective measure is ceased when its further implementation is not justified, taking into account: 1. justification of decision-taking for intervention; 2. individual and collective radiation dose which will be averted by further implementation of the measure; 3. financial expenses and social consequences for the society, regarded to further implementation of the measure.

  35. Article 33 (1) The basic types of urgent protective measures which should be immediately implemented in the first hours after arising a nuclear or radiological emergency are: 1. notification; 2. decontamination of the injured persons and additional requirements to public and personal hygiene; 3. individual and radiation monitoring; 4. limitation and control of access in places and areas contaminated with radioactive substances, including limitation of food consumption which are potentially contaminated with radioactive substances; 5. protection of the respiratory organs; 22 6. usage of protective clothes; 7. sheltering 8. stable iodine intake; 9. evacuation. (2) Except the measures in (1) in case of emergency long-term protective measures are implemented which duration could be weeks, months or years. The main types of long- term protective measures are: 1. relocation (temporary or permanent); 2. limiting the consumption of foods and fodders contaminated with radioactive substances; 3. decontamination of places and areas and property contaminated with radioactive substances, as well as limitation of their usage; 4. restoration works for normalizing the conditions of life in the affected areas.

  36. Article 34 (1) In case of contamination with radioactive substances as a result of previous or occurred emergency or activity: 1. places and areas contaminate with radioactive substances are signed and if necessary are isolated; 2. continuous individual control is assured; 3. a suitable intervention is applied taking into account the actual characteristics of the situation; 4. the usage of land and buildings located in signed places and areas pointed in p.1. is regulated; 5. an analysis is made for the possibility of implementing an intervention to lead to an increment of the radioactive effect for the population; 6. a radiation monitoring is made in a different depth under the surface. (2) If necessary additional measures are implemented for the places and areas in which an intervention is applied, as follows: 1. control of removed contaminated with radioactive substances materials and their usage, including trading them; 2. control of access in territories, contaminated with radioactive substances. Part 3 Intervention criteria

  37. Article 35 (1) Intervention criteria are all factors which influence the intervention decision-taking, including intervention levels, predictions of emergency’s development or results of implementing various protective measures, health, psychological, technical, geographical, economical and social factors. 23 (2) The criteria in accordance with (1) are considered independently of each other and as a whole for each concrete case. (3) In implementation of criteria in accordance with (1) an appearance of deterministic effects should not be tolerated. (4) Intervention is optimized during its implementation on the base of the existence of own and international experience, taking into account the concrete circumstances.

  38. Article 36 (1) The intervention levels are values of the estimated dose and averted dose for a defined time, the dose rate and specific activity upon reaching them relevant protective measures are implemented. (2) In reaching the intervention levels of estimated doses in accordance with Annex 3 urgent protective measures are implemented. (3) In reaching the intervention levels of estimated annual equivalent doses at chronic irradiation urgent protective measures are implemented in accordance with Annex 4.

  39. Article 37 (1) In cases of emergency followed by off-site contamination with radioactive substances, protective measures in accordance with art.33 (1) p.5-9 and (2) p.1. are implemented when reaching an intervention level in accordance with Annex 6 of Regulation No 28 (2006) for the conditions and order of medical assurance and health norms for protection of people in case of radiation accident (State Gazette No.84 of 2006). (2) An implementation of protective measures is not necessarily if the intervention levels in accordance with Annex 6 of Regulation No 28 (2006) for the conditions and order of medical assurance and health norms for protection of people in case of radiation accident (State Gazette No.84 of 2006) are not reached. In this case the implementation of protective measures is justified and optimized depending on the concrete situation and circumstances and the results of the radiation monitoring. (3) In case the averted effective dose is equal or bigger than the intervention levels in accordance with Annex 6 of Regulation No 28 (2006) for the conditions and order of medical assurance and health norms for protection of people in case of radiation accident (State Gazette No.84 of 2006) the decision for intervention is made taking into account the principles of justification and optimization in accordance with art.32 (5) and in accordance with the concrete situation and circumstances.

  40. Article 38 (1) In cases of an emergency as in art.37 (1), the protective measures of art.33 (2) p.2. are implemented: 1. for foods – in accordance with the limits of radionuclides’ content of foods pursuant to Regulation No 22 for defining the requirements for radioactive contamination limits for foods n case of radiation accident (State Gazette No.44 of 2002); 2. for fodders – in accordance with the action levels, defined in Annex 6. (2) In case of an emergency described in art.37 (1) the protective measure described in art.33 (1) p.8. is implemented in accordance with Regulation No 28 for the conditions and order 24 of medical assurance and health norms for protection of people in case of radiation accident (State Gazette No.84 of 2006).

  41. Article 39 (1) The intervention when finding of contamination with radioactive substances as a result of previous emergency or activity’s consequences is based on the annual effective dose for the population which can be received in case no intervention is taken. (2) An intervention is not taken when: 1. annual effective dose for the population, less or equal to 1 mSv in which the dose received from the natural radiation background of the area is not included; 2. annual effective dose for the population, less or equal to 5 mSv under special circumstances – only in case if in the next 5 consequent years the annual effective dose will not exceed 1 mSv. (3) In case of finding contaminations with radioactive substances as a result of previous emergency or activity’s consequences when the annual effective dose for the population is greater than 5 mSv, protective measures are implemented or it is advised restriction of access. The intervention is implemented after justification when annual equivalent dose for the population is 100 mSv, including the doses received from all possible radiation impacts and from the natural radiation background of the area, in exception of cases for which the Minister of health has not defined that the implementation of the intervention is not justified. (4) In cases when the annual effective dose for the population is: 1. greater than the minimum intervention level as in (2) p.2. but less than 10 mSv (boundary intervention level), except the radiation monitoring of radioactivity content in the environment, agricultural production and dose received by the population from external and internal irradiation, are implemented measures for limiting the dose and for protection of the population, based on the principals of justification and optimization in accordance with art.32 (5) and with the concrete situation and circumstances; 2. equal or greater than 10 mSv, but less than 20 mSv including the dose received from the natural radiation background an intervention is implemented for limiting the irradiation of the population; the type and range of protective measures are defined taking into account the radiation impact upon the population by the indicator “value of collective effective dose accumulated in 70 years”; for the people settling in the limited inhabitation zone a detailed information is given by the Minister of health about the possible health risks of radiation impact; 3. greater than 20 mSv or equal to 50 mSv, settlement is not allowed and it is forbidden permanent inhabitation in the zone for children and individuals in reproductive age; radiation monitoring is performed of individuals and components of the environment and measures for radiological and medical protection of individuals are implemented; 4. greater than 50 mSv permanent inhabitation is forbidden; performance of agricultural activities and usage of the environmental resources is possible only with special acts of the Council of Ministers; a radiation monitoring and dosimetric control of the personnel is processed and protective measures for the personnel are implemented.

  42. Article 40 25 (1) When with intervention is possible for the annual effective doses to exceed 50 mSv, in the intervention participate only volunteers, who are informed about consequent risks. (2) For members of the emergency teams and for people participating in the intervention, all reasonable efforts are implemented for keeping the annual effective doses below 100 mSv. (3) In extraordinary situations when needed a performance of life-saving actions, the limit of 100 mSv could be exceeded. Part 4 Informing the general public

6.E-02 g Notes: a – In growth of radioactive progeny was taken into account when calculating the D values for all the radionuclides as described in Appendix VIII. An “+” indicates the radionuclides for which the progeny were significant sources of dose for the scenarios considered. b – "UL" - Unlimited quantity c – The intake fraction for 3H was doubled to account for skin absorption of dispersed material. This was a conservative assumption based on ICRP Publication 71 [7] data suggesting that in atmospheric contamination by HTO, absorption through the skin contributes about 1/3 of the inhalation intake. d – Emergencies involving these amounts of radionuclides may result in airborne concentrations exceeding the level assumed to be an immediate danger to life or health (IDLH). e – Emergencies involving bulk amounts of these radionuclides may result in airborne concentrations exceeding the level assumed to be an immediate danger to life or health (IDLH). f – D-value is based on consideration of the criticality limit. g – The activity given is that of the alpha-emitting radionuclide, e.g. 239Pu or 241Am.

  50. Annex 2 Referred to art.36 (2) Intervention levels based on projected absorbed dose for emergency exposure for 48 hours period Projected absorbed dose Exposed organ or tissue In less than 48 hours [Gy] Whole body (bone marrow) 1 Lungs 6 Skin 3 Thyroid gland 5 Lens of the eye 2 Gonads 3 Foetus (for pregnant) 0,1 39

  51. Annex 3 Referred to art.3 (3) Intervention levels based on annual equivalent dose for chronic exposure Annual equivalent dose Exposed organ or tissue [Gy] Gonads 0,2 Lens of the eye 0,1 Bone marrow 0,4

  52. Annex 4 Referred to art.38 p.2. Intervention levels based on specific activity for 134Cs and 137Cs for feedstuff Feedstuff for farm animals Bq/kg 1, 2 1250 Pigs Poultry, lambs, calves 2500 Others 5000 Remarks: 1. The intervention levels are intended to contribute observance of the maximum permitted levels of concentration of radionuclides in feedstuff, but they do not alone guarantee such observance; the observance of the intervention level do not relive the requirement for radiation monitoring of animals products destined for human consumption. 2. The intervention levels apply to feedstuff as ready for consumption. Supplementary provisions § 1. Within the meaning of this Regulation: 1. “Emergency response team” is a preliminary selected team of qualified and trained persons for implementation of protective measures for the personnel, population and environment in case of emergency or transboundary release. 2. “Emergency plan” is a document describing the actions and measures for restriction and liquidation of the consequences of accidents. 3. “Evacuation” is intervention for temporary, promptly and in organized manner bringing out people and animals from the emergency planning zone for reducing or averting the exposure in case of accident. 4. “Deterministic effects” are harmful effects for health from ionizing radiation impact, for which there is a minimal dose causing given effect, above which the gravity of the effect is increasing with the dose’s increment. 40 5. “Protective measure” is implementation of concrete actions aiming to prevent or mitigation of the dose for the personnel and population in case of emergency or chronic irradiation. 6. “Dangerous source" is a radioactive source, which if not controlled could lead to deterministic effects. 7. “Projected dose” is the dose of exposure, which is expected to be received if intervention is not implemented in case of emergency. 8. “Radiation monitoring” is measurement of radiation parameters in the labor place or environment for the purpose of exposure assessment or control, as well as the results interpretation. 9. “Tran boundary release” is dispersion of radioactive substances across the state boundary. 10. “Chronic exposure” is prolonged exposure received with or without interruption as a result of emergency’s consequences, previous emergency or activity, during a period which is longer than the time of recovery from radiation injury. “Long-term protective action planning zone” is a selected area outside of the urgent protection action planning zone where in case of significant release during the accident or Tran boundary release is possible to implement intervention. 11. “Nuclear or radiological emergency” is an extraordinary situation in extraordinary event which requires implementation of operational actions for limiting the risk or unfavorable consequences upon human health and safety, his quality of life and property, as well as upon the environment and that risk is created by the chain nuclear reaction of fission or radioactive decay of fission products and radiation exposure. That also includes situations which require implementation of operational actions for limitation the impacts in realized danger. § 2. With this regulation are established the requirements of Council Directive 89/618/Euratom of 27 November 1989 on informing the general public about health protection measures to be applied and steps to be taken in the event of a radiological emergency (ОJ, L 357, 7 December 1989). FINAL PROVISIONS § 3. (1)The Chairman of NRA and the Minister of Interior in accordance with their competencies give instructions for implementation of this Regulation and issue manuals, methodologies and other documents on implementation of the Regulation. (2) The documents described in (1) are published on the internet websites of NRA and MI. § 4. This Regulation is issued on the basis of art.23 of ASUNE. 41
