Overview
EN 60761-3:2004 (CLC) - "Equipment for continuous monitoring radioactivity in gaseous effluents - Part 3: Specific requirements for radioactive noble gas monitors" - sets specific requirements for continuous monitoring systems that detect radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents. Adopted from IEC 60761-3:2002 and approved by CENELEC in 2004, the standard complements the general requirements in EN 60761-1 by focusing on noble gas monitors used for stack and environmental emission monitoring.
Key Topics
The standard covers practical and technical aspects relevant to noble gas effluent monitoring, including:
- Technical characteristics of noble gas monitors (performance and design expectations)
- General test conditions for type and acceptance testing (environmental, mechanical and electromagnetic conditions)
- Examples of acceptable measurement methods and sampling approaches for radioactive noble gases (e.g., krypton, xenon)
- Performance considerations such as sensitivity, response time, calibration and detection capability (qualitative guidance)
- Operational requirements for continuous, reliable monitoring in nuclear and industrial stacks
- Normative references for testing and compatibility, including EMC and environmental test procedures
(EN 60761-3 references foundational documents such as IEC 60761-1, IEC 60068-2-27 for shock testing, IEC 61000 series for EMC and related EMC/EMI standards.)
Applications
EN 60761-3 is intended for organizations that design, supply, specify or operate continuous noble gas monitoring systems:
- Nuclear power plants and reactor facilities for stack emission control
- Fuel reprocessing and isotope production facilities where noble gas releases are monitored
- Environmental and regulatory monitoring agencies that specify acceptance criteria for effluent monitors
- Instrumentation manufacturers and test laboratories developing or certifying noble gas detectors
- Radiation protection and health physics teams responsible for monitoring and reporting gaseous releases
Practical benefits include clearer procurement specifications, harmonized test procedures for acceptance, improved comparability of detector performance, and support for regulatory compliance and reporting.
