These Regulations are part of a package of measures to transpose Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom of 5 December 2013 (“the Directive”) laying down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation, and repealing Directives 89/618/Euratom, 90/641/Euratom, 96/29/Euratom, 97/43/Euratom and 2003/122/Euratom. Most of the transposition measures are being dealt with by amending or replacing existing statutory instruments. These Regulations transpose some requirements in Article 73(1) of the Directive as well as making amendments to reflect new definitions in the Directive.
