I.-Chaque source de rayonnements ionisants fait l’objet d’une signalisation spécifique et appropriée.


II.-Lorsque les conditions techniques ne permettent pas la signalisation individuelle de la source de rayonnements ionisants, un affichage comportant sa localisation et la nature du risque est prévu à chaque accès à la zone considérée.


III.-Dans les zones contrôlées orange ou rouge d’une installation nucléaire de base, lorsque les conditions techniques ne permettent pas de signaler individuellement la source de rayonnements ionisants ni de mettre en place l’affichage prévu au II, une notice d’information sur les conditions d’intervention, est délivrée à chaque travailleur devant pénétrer dans ces zones. Cette notice rappelle notamment les règles de sécurité applicables et les consignes relatives aux mesures de protection collective et individuelle.
