Radiation protection instrumentation - Highly sensitive hand-held instruments for photon detection of radioactive material
This International Standard applies to hand-held instruments used for the detection and localization of radioactive photon emitting materials. These instruments are highly sensitive meaning that they are designed to detect slight variations in the range of usual photon background caused mainly by illicit trafficking or inadvertent movement of radioactive material. Compared to pocket devices (see IEC 62401), this highly sensitive instrument allows the scanning of larger volume items such as vehicles or containers. They may also be used in fixed or temporarily fixed unattended mode to monitor check points or critical areas. These instruments also provide an indication of the ambient dose equivalent rate from photon radiation. However, this standard does not apply to the performance of radiation protection instrumentation which is covered in IEC 60846-1 and IEC 61526. These instruments may provide additional functions as described below without including all features of specialized portable identification devices as defined by IEC 62327: • rejecting natural background variation encountered when used in movement; • sorting alarms of interest from naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) or medical radionuclides originated alarms; • provide source categorization data (including limited photon spectra) to a remote location. The object of this standard is to establish performance requirements including physical characteristics, general test conditions, radiation characteristics, electrical safety, and environmental conditions. This standard provides examples of acceptable test methods to determine if an instrument meets the requirements of this standard. The results of tests performed provide information to users on the capability of radiation detection instruments for reliably detecting photon sources. Obtaining operating performance that meets or exceeds the specifications as stated in this standard depends upon properly establishing appropriate operating parameters, maintaining calibration, implementing a suitable response testing and maintenance program, providing proper training for operating personnel and developing operating procedures that address the instrument limitations and capabilities.

Instrumentation pour la radioprotection - Instruments portables de haute sensibilité pour la détection photonique de matières radioactives
La présente Norme internationale s'applique aux instruments portables utilisés pour la détection et la localisation des substances radioactives émettant des photons. Ces instruments sont très sensibles, ce qui signifie qu'ils sont conçus pour détecter de faibles variations dans le domaine du bruit de fond photonique habituel, qui peuvent avoir pour origine principale un transport illicite ou des mouvements involontaires de substances radioactives. En comparaison avec les dispositifs de poche (voir la CEI 62401), ces instruments à haute sensibilité permettent le balayage d'objets de plus grand volume tels que des véhicules ou des conteneurs. Ces instruments peuvent aussi être utilisés de manière fixe ou temporairement fixe pour surveiller des points de contrôle ou des emplacements critiques. Ces instruments fournissent aussi une indication du débit d’équivalent de dose ambiant d'un rayonnement photonique. Cependant, la présente norme ne s'applique pas aux performances de l'instrumentation de radioprotection, qui est couverte par les CEI 60846-1 et CEI 61526. Ces instruments peuvent fournir des fonctions supplémentaires telles que décrites ci-dessous, sans posséder toutes les caractéristiques des dispositifs d'identification portables et spécialisés, tels que définis dans la CEI 62327: – élimination des variations du bruit de fond naturel, rencontrées lors d'une utilisation pendant un déplacement; – discrimination des alarmes selon leur intérêt, entre alarmes provoquées par une matière radioactive présente dans la nature (NORM, en anglais naturally occurring radioactive material), ou alarmes provoquées par un radionucléide d'origine médicale; – fourniture de données de catégorisation de source (y compris des spectres photoniques limités) à un emplacement éloigné. L'objet de la présente norme est d'établir des exigences d'aptitude à la fonction incluant les caractéristiques physiques, les conditions générales d'essai, les caractéristiques de rayonnement, les caractéristiques de sécurité électrique et les conditions environnementales. La présente norme fournit des exemples de méthodes d'essai acceptables, permettant de déterminer si un instrument est conforme aux exigences de la présente norme. Les résultats des essais donnent des informations aux utilisateurs sur l'aptitude des instruments de détection de rayonnement à détecter de manière fiable des sources photoniques. L'obtention de performances opérationnelles qui répondent ou dépassent les spécifications établies dans la présente norme dépend de l'établissement correct des paramètres opérationnels appropriés, d'un étalonnage maintenu, de la mise en œuvre d'un programme adéquat d'essai de réponse et d'un programme de maintenance, de la formation pertinente des opérateurs et du développement de procédures opératoires établissant les limitations et l'aptitude de l'instrument.
Oprema za varstvo pred sevanjem - Zelo občutljivi ročni instrumenti za zaznavanje fotonskega sevanja radioaktivnega materiala
Ta mednarodni standard velja za ročne instrumente za zaznavanje in lokalizacijo materialov, ki oddajajo nevtronsko sevanje. Ti instrumenti so visoko občutljivi, kar pomeni, da so namenjeni zaznavanju rahlih variacij v razponu običajnega stanja, ki jih večinoma povzroči ilegalni promet ali nenameren premik radioaktivnega materiala. V primerjavi z žepnimi napravami (glej IEC 62401) ta zelo občutljivi instrument omogoča skeniranje predmetov večjega obsega, kot so vozila ali zabojniki. Te instrumente se lahko uporabi tudi tako, da se jih pritrdi ali začasno pritrdi za namen spremljanja kontrolnih točk ali kritičnih območij brez nadzora osebja.
Ti instrumenti upoštevajo tudi stopnjo okoljsko ekvivalentnih odmerkov fotonskega sevanja. Vendar pa ta standard ne velja za učinkovitost instrumentov zaščite pred sevanji, ki je zajeta v standardih IEC 60846-1 in IEC 61526.
Ti instrumenti lahko zagotovijo dodatne funkcije, kot je opisano spodaj, pri čemer ne vključujejo vseh funkcij specializiranih prenosnih naprav, kot določa standard IEC 62327:
• zavrnitev naravnih sprememb ozadja, s katerimi se srečujejo pri uporabi v gibanju;
• razvrščanje alarmov, ki nastanejo zaradi naravno prisotnega radioaktivnega materiala (NORM) ali alarmov, ki izvirajo iz medicinskih radionuklidov;
• zagotavljanje podatkov za kategorizacijo virov (vključno z omejenimi spektri fotonov) na oddaljeni lokaciji.
Cilj tega standarda je določiti zahteve glede učinkovitosti, vključno s fizikalnimi lastnostmi, splošnimi pogoji preskušanja, značilnostmi sevanja, električno varnostjo in okoljskimi pogoji. Ta standard določa primere sprejemljivih preskusnih metod za ugotavljanje, ali instrument ustreza zahtevam tega standarda. Rezultati opravljenih preskusov zagotovijo uporabnikom informacije o zmogljivosti instrumentov za odkrivanje sevanja, s katerimi zanesljivo odkrivajo vire fotonov.
Zmogljivost delovanja, ki dosega ali presega specifikacije, kot je navedeno v tem standardu, je odvisna od pravilne nastavitve ustreznih delovnih parametrov, rednega umerjanja, izvajanja ustreznega odzivnega preskušanja in programa vzdrževanja, ustreznega usposabljanja osebja in razvoja delovnih postopkov, ki upoštevajo omejitve in zmogljivosti instrumentov.
