Limit 2
Limit 2 : Radiation and Radiological Disasters. The value of a quantity used in certain specified activities or circumstances that must not be exceeded. The term limit should only be used for a criterion that must not be exceeded, e.g. where exceeding the limit would cause some form of legal sanction to be invoked. Criteria used for other purposes - e.g. to indicate a need for closer investigation or a review of procedures, or as a threshold for reporting to a regulatory body - should be described using other terms, such as reference level. Acceptable Limit: A limit acceptable to the regulatory body. The term acceptable limit is usually used to refer to a limit on the predicted radiological consequences of an accident (or on potential exposures if they occur) that is acceptable to the relevant regulatory body when the probability of occurrence of the accident or potential exposures has been taken into account (i.e. on the basis that it is unlikely to occur). The term authorized limit should be used to refer to limits on doses or risks, or on releases of radionuclides, which are acceptable to the regulatory body on the assumption that they are likely to occur
