Interpretation of these dose limits in terms of individual nuclides to be released from a particular site leads to the Derived Release Limits (DRL). These DRL's, which are approved by the AECB [Atomic Energy Control Board], tell each nuclear power plant operator how much of each nuclide it is allowed under law to release from the stations.

L'interprétation des limites de doses dans le cas de nucléides particuliers à libérer à partir d'un emplacement donné permet d'établir une limite opérationnelle dérivée (LOD). Cette limite, approuvée par l'EACL [Énergie atomique du Canada limitée] indique à chaque exploitant de centrale nucléaire la quantité de chaque nucléide qu'il peut légalement laisser échapper de sa centrale.
