Footnote
However, note that, in order to identify amounts of radioactive substances which could be exempted from the need for regulatory control, "exemption criteria" were established in the IAEA Safety Standards (Safety Series No.115, International Basic Safety Standards for the Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources, Schedule I, p. 81-89; Vienna, 1996. IAEA is currently in the process of updating IAEA Safety Series No.115). For practical purposes, the IAEA defined values (e.g., "exemption levels") that could be considered as "thresholds" below which the substances could be automatically exempted from any control without further consideration. National Regulatory Authorities normally establish exemption levels for radioactive sources and other radioactive materials.
