b after section 1D (radionuclides not of natural terrestrial or cosmic origin) insert— Dilution to reduce concentration of radioactivity: Northern Ireland 1DA For the purposes of section 1B, 1C and 1D, a substance or article is to be treated as having a concentration of radioactivity which exceeds the value referred to in section 1B(2), 1C(c)(i) or 1D(a), if a person has deliberately diluted the substance or article with the intention of ensuring that its concentration of radioactivity does not exceed that value. ; and c after section 1G (contaminated substances or articles) insert— Historic radium contamination: Northern Ireland 1GA A substance or article is not radioactive material or radioactive waste where the substance or article arises from the remediation of land contaminated by radium and— a the substance or article contains Ra-226 or its progeny; b in the absence of Ra-226 or its progeny, the substance or article would not otherwise be radioactive material or radioactive waste under this section; c the contamination occurred prior to 13 May 2000; and d the concentration of Ra-226 and any progeny resulting from the decay of Ra-226 does not exceed the following values— i for a substance or article which is a solid or a substance which is relevant a liquid, 1Bq/g; ii for a substance which is any other liquid, 1Bq/l; or iii for a substance which is a gas, 0.01 Bq/m 3 . . 3 After section 14 (accumulation of radioactive waste) insert— Radioactive waste: requirements to be imposed on persons authorised to dispose of and accumulate radioactive waste: Northern Ireland 14A 1 The chief inspector shall require a person who holds an authorisation to carry on the radioactive substances activity described in section 13(3) (disposal of radioactive waste) or section 14(2) (accumulation of radioactive waste) to— a achieve and maintain an optimal level of protection of members of the public; b accept into service adequate equipment and procedures for measuring and assessing exposure of members of the public and radioactive contamination of the environment; c check the effectiveness and maintenance of equipment as referred to in paragraph (b) and ensure the regular calibration of measuring instruments;
