Section 380-1.1 - Purpose

(a) The regulations in this Part establish standards for protection against ionizing radiation resulting from the disposal and release of radioactive material to the environment. These regulations are issued under Articles 1, 3, 17, 19, 27, 29, and 37 of the Environmental Conservation Law.

(b) It is the purpose of the regulations in this Part to control the disposal and release of radioactive material to the environment in such a manner that the total dose to an individual member of the public (including doses resulting from licensed and unlicensed radioactive material and from radiation sources other than background radiation) does not exceed the standards for protection against radiation prescribed in Subpart 380-5 of this Part. However, nothing in this Part limits actions that may be necessary to protect public health and safety or the environment.
