Abstract:
Clearance from regulatory control involves that radioactive material of very low activity can be
recycled, reused or disposed of like non-radioactive material. International recommendations for
clearance and their implications for the applicability of various clearance options (conditional
and unconditional clearance) are discussed. Guidance is given on the radiological consequence
analysis and activity monitoring pertaining to clearance from regulatory control. Regulatory
control and documentation are discussed. A summary of the national regulations and potential
quantities of wastes to be cleared in the Nordic countries is also included in the report.
