1.16. This Safety Guide does not specifically address monitoring that will be required for the following purposes:
- Occupational radiation protection (e.g. by means of dosimetry). This topic is covered in Ref. [16].
- Waste characterization or waste tracking.
- State systems of accounting for and control of nuclear material, or IAEA nuclear safeguards, for facilities that will contain significant quantities of nuclear material.
- Socioeconomic conditions (such as demographic changes, presence of industries, trade of goods, changes in social order).
This Safety Guide also does not provide recommendations on monitoring for non-radiological contaminants that may be of concern. However, the operator of the disposal facility should consider such contaminants when designing the monitoring programme.
