Abstract

Cost effectiveness, ethics and consistency of TENORM regulation were examined by comparing the existing regulation with a hypothetical regulation derived from ideal legislation procedures. The comparison revealed the necessity of risk-based regulation, consideration for ethics as well as optimal usage of regulation resources, and problems of existing discrepancy between artificial and natural radioactivity regulations.
