GLOSSARY
Formerly the principal piece of legislation regulating radioactive substances (still in force but largely repealed or application amended). In England and Wales, the Environmental Permitting regime has replaced the authorisation regime contained in the RSA 1993, such that an Environmental Permit must now be obtained from the EA rather than an authorisation under the RSA 1993 (see Environmental Permit and Radioactive Substances Regulation). In Scotland and Northern Ireland, the authorisation regime under the RSA 1993 (and subordinate legislation) continues to apply.

GLOSSARY
The spontaneous emission of radiation, generally alpha or beta particles, often accompanied by gamma rays, from the nucleus of an unstable isotope. Also, the rate at which radioactive material emits radiation. Measured in units of becquerels or disintegrations per second. Other measurements are used (e.g. Sieverts) which relate to physiological effects.

A heavy radioactive gas given off by rocks containing radium (or thorium). These rocks have existed since the formation of Earth’s crust and radon is often the single largest contributor to an individual's background radiation dose, and is the most variable from location to location. Radon is a noble gas (a Group VIII element) – other members of the series are helium, neon, argon, krypton and xenon.
