Radiation monitoring
[Paragraph 149 (6) (a) of the Atomic Act]
Monitoring of the radiation situation in the Czech Republic to determine the size of the external and internal exposure of the population must be carried out in such a way that:
(a) normal monitoring
1. systematic and continuous measurement of the level of exposure has been ensured;
2. normal exposure values have been established,
3. early detection of an elevated external exposure level above normal levels has been allowed; and
4. an emergency exposure situation has been confirmed,
(b) emergency monitoring
1. the presence of a radioactive substance and the spread of ionising radiation has been identified and characterised; In the case of an accidental exposure situation arising in the territory of the Czech Republic, the monitoring of the radiation situation shall include an estimate of the spread of the radioactive substance and ionising radiation in the vicinity of the nuclear installation or workplace at which the radiological incident occurred or in the vicinity of the site where the emergency exposure situation was caused by an arbitrary act;
2. the contaminated territory has been identified; and
3. it is possible to predict the development of an emergency exposure situation.
Monitoring networks
[Paragraph 149 (6) (a) of the Atomic Act]
(1) Monitoring is organised through monitoring networks.
(2) Monitoring networks are divided
(a) according to the territory on the sparsely 3) and densely 4), which is further divided into a territorial network covering the entire territory of the Czech Republic, a local network which covers the selected territory and is concentrated in a targeted area and a border network which covers the boundaries of the demarcated and, where appropriate, a closed area; and
(b) according to the purpose and method used to measure or carry out the sampling on the network for external and internal exposure.
(3) Details of the division of the monitoring networks are given in Annex 1 to this Decree.
Monitoring points
[Paragraph 149 (6) (a) of the Atomic Act]

(2) The monitoring points are further divided into permanent and unstable. For unstable monitoring points where only one measurement, one sampling or one sample collection is carried out, at least the latitude and longitude shall be determined, and for permanent monitoring points the name and altitude shall be determined. An identifier shall be assigned to all monitoring points by the data centre of the Office.
(3) Measurement and sampling points, with the exception of measuring points on monitoring routes and on border networks, are established before the start of the relevant measurement or sampling, so as to minimise the potential impact of surrounding buildings, crops and other objects on the measurement result. The measurement and sampling points on local networks, the monitoring points on monitoring routes and the collection points shall be established in such a way that the results of the monitoring can be used in emergency monitoring to process the proposal for the introduction, specification or withdrawal of safeguard measures.
(4) Measurement points for measuring in monitoring networks
(a) for external exposure, with the exception of monitoring routes, the location of measuring devices shall allow for a height of at least 1 m above the ground;
(b) early detection must be established in such a strong way as to permit early detection of an elevated level of external exposure above normal values in the territory of the Czech Republic, with the fact that the upper limits of normal values from all measurements made at a given measuring point are considered normal values; and
(c) the teledosimetric system shall allow for an emergency exposure situation arising in an energy nuclear installation or suspected to occur in a timely manner in the event of a possible leakage of radioactive substances or the spread of ionising radiation into the air and an estimate of its size.
(5) The sampling points shall be determined in such a way that sampling is carried out.
(a) the environment in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, pedosphere and on earth or other surface; the permanent sampling points for surface water sampling shall be determined on waterfoils and water areas; and
(b) the food chains on the marketing network or in the case of a producer of milk, milk products, compound food or feed; sampling points for sampling by self-collection of forest crops and fungi shall be chosen to characterise the territory of their occurrence.
(6) The collection points are places of collection and collection of samples from excretes, in addition to the food chain samples in case of emergency monitoring, and places of concentration of persons to measure the content of radionuclides in the selected organs of the human body or throughout the human body.
