skos:definition "1. Removal of 'radioactive material' or 'radioactive' objects within <br/>
authorized' practices' from any further 'regulatory control' by the 'regulatory body'.<br/>
Removal from 'control' in this context refers to 'control' applied for <i>radiation <br/>protection</i> purposes.<br/>Conceptually, 'clearance' — freeing certain materials or objects in authorized<br/>'practices' from further 'control' — is closely linked to, but distinct from and not <br/>to be confused with, 'exemption' — determining that 'controls' do not need to be <br/>applied to certain 'sources' and 'practices'.<br/>Various terms are used in different States to describe this concept, e.g. ‘free <br/>release’.<br/>A number of issues relating to the concept of 'clearance' and its relationship to <br/>other concepts were resolved in Ref. [10].<br/>
2. The net effect of the biological 'processes' by which radionuclides are <br/>
removed from a tissue, organ or area of the body.<br/>
