2. Protecting people in normal operation
Technical measures are taken in facilities to ensure that, during normal operation, exposure to ionizing radiation of workers and members of the public is limited to levels as low as reasonably achievable and, in any event, below regulatory limits.
These measures are designed to :

control access of persons to areas exposed to ionizing radiation or liable to radioactive contamination;...
