Regulatory guide on preparedness (VAL)
The VAL 1 guide concerns the protective actions in the early and intermediate phases of a nuclear or radiological emergency.
Protective actions are measures aimed to minimise the radiation exposure of the public in case of a nuclear or radiological emergency, keep other harm caused by the situation to a minimum and restore the living conditions of people and the functioning of society as normal as possible after the emergency.
Guide VAL 1 has been updated 9 April 2024 on definitions of EPZ and urgent protection of food and feed production.
