ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
Rules for the classification of nuclear installations, sites with sources of ionising radiation or activities in exposure situations into the hazard category
(Paragraph 153 (3) of the Atomic Act)
(1) Depending on the possible impacts of a radiation accident or a radiation accident on the territory of the Czech Republic, a nuclear installation, a site with sources of ionising radiation or an activity in exposure situations shall be classified as a threat category A to D, namely:
(a) to the category of threat A nuclear power plant is included,
(b) nuclear equipment not belonging to hazard category A and Category IV shall be classified under threat category B, except for a nuclear facility where a radiation accident may occur;
(c) nuclear installations or workplaces with sources of ionising radiation on which a radiation accident cannot occur shall be classified under threat category C; or
(d) under threat category D shall be classified in exposure situations, including the finding, misuse or loss of a radionuclide source or the transport of radioactive or fissile material, which may cause a radiological accident or a radiological accident at an unforeseeable location, and hence an emergency exposure.
(2) The category of threat E includes areas within the territory of the Czech Republic where protective measures may be implemented for the population as a result of a radiation accident caused by a nuclear installation or a workplace with sources of ionising radiation located in the territory of a state neighbouring the Czech Republic.
Rules for the analysis and evaluation of radiological emergencies
(Articles 24 (7) and 154 (3) of the Atomic Act)
(1) When analysing and evaluating radiological emergencies
(a) the application for authorisation referred to in Article 9 (1) (a) to: (b) or (e) the atomic law must also take into account the possibility of a radiological emergency occurring in two or more nuclear reactors located on the site of a nuclear installation and an emergency under another legislature2) and the possibility of a radiological emergency and an emergency under another legislature2) in the neighbouring person;
(b) the application for authorisation pursuant to § 9 (2) (b) and (d) of the Atomic Act must also take into account the possibility of a radiation emergency occurring at two or more sites with sources of ionising radiation, or nuclear installations located at the workplace of Category IV and exceptional occurrences under another legislation (2) and the possibility of a radiation incident and an emergency occurring under another legislation (2) with a neighbouring person;
(c) the application for authorisation under Paragraph 9 (3) (b) of the Atomic Act must be taken into account for the possibility of a radiological emergency and an incident under another legislation (2) with the neighbouring person; and
(d) the application for authorisation under Paragraph 9 (1) (b) of the Atomic Act must take into account the results of the probabilistic safety assessment carried out in accordance with the Security Assessment Requirements Decree.
(2) The requirements for the content of the analysis and evaluation of radiological emergencies are set out in Annex 1 to this Decree.
(3) The notification of the identified hazard category shall be made within 10 days of the date on which the relevant decision of the Authority on the authorisation becomes final. Only the identified hazard category A or B shall be notified to the processor of the external emergency plan.
Requirements for the establishment of an emergency planning zone
[Articles 24 (7) and 149 (6) (d) of the Atomic Act]
(1) In the event that the analysis and assessment of the radiological emergency referred to in Annex 1 to this Decree shows that radiation accidents may occur on a nuclear installation or at a Category IV workplace, the applicant for authorisation pursuant to Sections 9 (1) (b) and (e) and 9 (2) (a) and (d) of the Act shall be prepared for the establishment of an emergency planning zone in the vicinity of a nuclear installation or site of Category IV, as referred to in Annex 2 to this Regulation or Annex 3 to this Decree.
(2) The documentation for determining the area of the emergency planning zone referred to in paragraph 1 shall include a design of a circular area of which:
(a) the centre S corresponds to the centre of the smallest circle, which includes the projection of the ground plan of the building with a nuclear reactor, or of all the buildings with nuclear reactors located on the site of the nuclear installation, or the projection of the ground plan of a building with a Category IV workplace, or of buildings with a Category IV workplace in one place; Model for determining the centre The area of the emergency planning zone is shown in Figure 1 of Annex 4 to this Decree; and
(b) the radius R is equal to the distance from the centre S, which defines the area where, in the event of a radiation accident, it is necessary to plan in advance the introduction of urgent protective measures for persons present in the accident on the basis of the impact analysis carried out.
(3) On the basis of the documentation for the establishment of the emergency planning zone, the Authority will establish an emergency planning zone in the vicinity of a nuclear installation or a Category IV site, taking into account urban, off-road, demographic or climatic conditions, and, where appropriate, other factors of interest in the territory. The Office shall establish an external border in such a way that it does not divide individual houses, dwellings or populated areas.
(4) The Authority will define within the area of the emergency planning zone 16 sectors of the emergency planning zone, which are the parts of the centre angle circle section covering the area of the emergency planning zone 22,5 ° so that the axes of these sections intersect on the centre S determined in accordance with paragraph 2 (a) and that the number 1 axis corresponds to the azimuth 0 °; the model of the geometric distribution of the area is set out in Figure 2 of Annex 4 to this Regulation.

(b) information on the detection of a radiological emergency outside the territory of the Czech Republic transmitted by the European Commission or by a neighbouring State.
(2) The emergency action levels, which are the facts or variables which indicate a suspicion of a radiological incident in the conduct of the authorised activity, are:
(a) the quantities or factors relating to the immediate state of the systems, structures and components of the nuclear installation or to the immediate state of the workplace with sources of ionising radiation or a packaging with a radioactive or fissile substance during transport, the failure or damage of which may result in disturbances of barriers intended to prevent the leakage of radioactive substances or the spread of ionising radiation into the working or environment, or the occurrence of an accidental exposure situation at the premises of the nuclear installation or at the workplace with sources of ionising radiation, or around the packaging and means of transport; and
(b) the identification of an operational incident or an emergency under another legislative act (2) which may endanger nuclear safety or radiation protection in carrying out activities in the context of the intended exposure situation and the course of that event.
(3) Accidental action levels must be established as a set of pre-determined, locally specific initiating conditions, the achievement of which is an incentive to investigate the suspected or confirmed occurrence of a radiological emergency, and, where appropriate, to initiate a response. The emergency action levels shall be developed for all activities carried out in the framework of authorised activities, may consist of several monitoring levels and include a description of operational events whose further development may jeopardise nuclear safety or radiation protection.
