(10) Medical exposure refers to the exposure of patients and their helpers to ionizing radiation in the course of diagnosis or treatment.
一一緊急曝露：指發生事故之時或之後，為搶救遇險人員，阻止事態擴大或其他緊急情況，而有組織且自願接受之曝露。
(11) Emergency exposure refers to systematic exposure which is voluntarily received in order to rescue lives of persons in danger and to prevent the worsening of a situation, or other emergencies during and after the occurrence of an accident.
一三干預：指影響既存輻射源與受曝露人間之曝露途徑，以減少個人或集體曝露所採取之措施。
(13) Intervention refers to the measures that are taken to affect exposure pathways between existing radiation sources and the persons exposed, for the purpose of reducing individual or collective exposure.
一四設施經營者：指經主管機關許可、發給許可證或登記備查，經營輻射作業相關業務者。
(14) Facility operator refers to a person who operates a business connected with practice and who is permitted or licensed by the Competent Authority, or is registered with the Competent Authority.

一七西弗：指國際單位制之人員劑量單位。
(17) Sievert / Sv refers to the SI unit of personal dose.
一八劑量限度：指人員因輻射作業所受之曝露，不應超過之劑量值。
(18) Dose limit refers to the maximum allowable dose arising from exposure received by a worker in practice.
一九污染環境：指因輻射作業而改變空氣、水或土壤原有之放射性物質含量，致影響其正常用途，破壞自然生態或損害財物。
(19) Contaminating the environment refers to practice-related activities changing the amount of radioactive material in air, water, or soil thereby affecting its normal use in a way that jeopardizing the natural ecology, or damaging property.
第3條 本法之主管機關，為行政院原子能委員會。
Article 3 The Competent Authority in this Act is the Atomic Energy Council (AEC) of the Executive Yuan.
第4條 天然放射性物質、背景輻射及其所造成之曝露，不適用本法之規定。
Article 4 The provisions of the Act do not apply to naturally occurring radioactive material, background radiation, and their exposure herein.
但有影響公眾安全之虞者，主管機關得經公告之程序，將其納入管理；其辦法，由主管機關定之。
Provided there is a threat to public safety, the Competent Authority may take them under its jurisdiction by the procedure of announcement and the regulations shall be laid down by the Competent Authority.
