### sec.9 Disposal of radioactive material into air or water, other than into sewerage system— Act , s 26 For section 26 (1) (a) of the Act — for disposal into the air of radioactive material containing only 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1—the maximum concentration prescribed is the concentration stated in column 2 of the schedule opposite the radionuclide; or for disposal into water of radioactive material containing only 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1—the maximum concentration prescribed is the concentration stated in column 3 of the schedule opposite the radionuclide; or for disposal into the air or water of radioactive material containing more than 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1—the maximum concentration prescribed is a concentration resulting in a disposal factor for the material of 1. Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to the disposal of radioactive material into a sewerage system. Subsection (4) applies in relation to the disposal into water of radioactive material mentioned in subsection (1) (b) or (c) that is wastewater resulting from reverse osmosis at a water treatment facility. For section 26 (2) of the Act , the point of disposal at which the concentration of the radionuclide in the radioactive material is to be decided is immediately outside the point at which the wastewater is released into the environment. In this section— disposal factor , for radioactive material containing more than 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1, means the total of the amounts worked out for each of the radionuclides using the formula— where— A , for a radionuclide, means the amount for the radionuclide. C , for a radionuclide, means the radionuclide’s concentration, measured in Bq per cubic metre. MC , for a radionuclide, means— if the material is to be disposed of into the air—the concentration stated in schedule 3 , column 2 opposite the radionuclide; or if the material is to be disposed of into water—the concentration stated in schedule 3 , column 3 opposite the radionuclide. (sec.9-ssec.1) For section 26 (1) (a) of the Act — for disposal into the air of radioactive material containing only 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1—the maximum concentration prescribed is the concentration stated in column 2 of the schedule opposite the radionuclide; or for disposal into water of radioactive material containing only 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1—the maximum concentration prescribed is the concentration stated in column 3 of the schedule opposite the radionuclide; or for disposal into the air or water of radioactive material containing more than 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1—the maximum concentration prescribed is a concentration resulting in a disposal factor for the material of 1. (sec.9-ssec.2) Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to the disposal of radioactive material into a sewerage system. (sec.9-ssec.3) Subsection (4) applies in relation to the disposal into water of radioactive material mentioned in subsection (1) (b) or (c) that is wastewater resulting from reverse osmosis at a water treatment facility. (sec.9-ssec.4) For section 26 (2) of the Act , the point of disposal at which the concentration of the radionuclide in the radioactive material is to be decided is immediately outside the point at which the wastewater is released into the environment. (sec.9-ssec.5) In this section— disposal factor , for radioactive material containing more than 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1, means the total of the amounts worked out for each of the radionuclides using the formula— where— A , for a radionuclide, means the amount for the radionuclide. C , for a radionuclide, means the radionuclide’s concentration, measured in Bq per cubic metre. MC , for a radionuclide, means— if the material is to be disposed of into the air—the concentration stated in schedule 3 , column 2 opposite the radionuclide; or if the material is to be disposed of into water—the concentration stated in schedule 3 , column 3 opposite the radionuclide. - (a) for disposal into the air of radioactive material containing only 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1—the maximum concentration prescribed is the concentration stated in column 2 of the schedule opposite the radionuclide; or - (b) for disposal into water of radioactive material containing only 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1—the maximum concentration prescribed is the concentration stated in column 3 of the schedule opposite the radionuclide; or - (c) for disposal into the air or water of radioactive material containing more than 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1—the maximum concentration prescribed is a concentration resulting in a disposal factor for the material of 1. - (a) if the material is to be disposed of into the air—the concentration stated in schedule 3 , column 2 opposite the radionuclide; or - (b) if the material is to be disposed of into water—the concentration stated in schedule 3 , column 3 opposite the radionuclide.
