Permissible Values

Value	Title	Meaning	Description	Access Control	Contamination Control	Control	Dose Limit	Evacuation	Monitoring	Planning Required	Population Density	Protective Actions	Public Access	Purpose	Radiation Monitoring	Size	Training Required
EXCLUSION_AREA	Exclusion Area		Area under control of reactor operator with restricted access			reactor operator							restricted	immediate accident response control		typically few hundred meters radius
LOW_POPULATION_ZONE	Low Population Zone (LPZ)		Area with low population density surrounding exclusion area				design basis for accident consequences	feasible if needed			low					typically few kilometers radius
EMERGENCY_PLANNING_ZONE	Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ)		Area for which emergency planning is conducted							comprehensive emergency plans		evacuation and sheltering plans				typically 10-mile (16 km) radius
INGESTION_PATHWAY_ZONE	Ingestion Pathway Zone		Area for controlling food and water contamination		food and water supplies				food chain monitoring required							typically 50-mile (80 km) radius
CONTROLLED_AREA	Controlled Area		Area within facility boundary with access control	personnel monitoring required											continuous monitoring		radiation safety training
SUPERVISED_AREA	Supervised Area		Area with potential for radiation exposure but lower than controlled	limited restrictions					periodic monitoring								basic radiation awareness
