#### 60 Effective doses
(1) For regulation 59, a person’s effective dose for a relevant period is the sum of:
(a) the effective dose that the person receives, from external exposure, during the relevant period; and
(b) the person’s committed effective dose, received from intakes during the relevant period, for the next 50 years.
(2) However, if the person is under 18, the committed effective dose must be worked out on the basis of the number of years calculated by subtracting the person’s age, at the time of the calculation, from 70.
(3) For subregulation (1), a relevant period is:
(a) for a controlled person—5 years; or
(b) for a member of the public—1 year.
