Radiation protection instrumentation - Spectroscopy-based alarming personal radiation detectors (SPRD) for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material
This document applies to Spectroscopy-based alarming Personal Radiation Detectors (SPRD). SPRDs detect and identify gamma radiation and may detect neutron radiation. SPRDs can be worn on a belt or in a pocket to alert the wearer of the presence of a radiation source. SPRDs provide search, similar to that of a Personal Radiation Device (PRD), and identification capability to identify radiation sources. They can discriminate between alarms caused by Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) or medical radionuclides and alarms from industrial sources or Special Nuclear Material (SNM).

Instrumentation pour la radioprotection - Détecteurs individuels spectroscopiques d'alarme aux rayonnements (SPRD) pour la détection du trafic illicite des matières radioactives
IEC 62618:2022 s'applique aux détecteurs individuels spectroscopiques d'alarme aux rayonnements (SPRD, Spectroscopy-based alarming Personal Radiation Detector). Les SPRD détectent et identifient les rayonnements gamma et peuvent détecter les rayonnements neutroniques. Les SPRD peuvent être portés sur une ceinture ou dans une poche afin d'avertir le porteur de la présence d'une source de rayonnement. Les SPRD assurent une fonctionnalité de recherche, similaire à celle d'un dispositif individuel d'alarme aux rayonnements (PRD, Personal Radiation Device), ainsi qu'une fonctionnalité d'identification qui permet d'identifier les sources de rayonnement. Ils peuvent distinguer les alarmes dues aux matières radioactives naturelles (NORM, Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) ou aux radionucléides médicaux des alarmes dues aux sources industrielles ou aux matières nucléaires spéciales (SNM, Special Nuclear Material). Le présent document établit les exigences de performances et spécifie les caractéristiques générales, les conditions générales d'essai, ainsi que les caractéristiques radiologiques, climatiques, mécaniques et électromagnétiques. Le présent document fournit également les méthodes d'essai utilisées pour déterminer si un SPRD satisfait aux exigences établies. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2013. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a. la norme a été alignée sur les nouvelles normes relatives à la détection du trafic illicite de matières radioactives (voir l'Introduction); b. un essai de fonctionnalité brut a été créé pour l'ensemble des essais environnementaux, électromagnétiques et mécaniques, et une exigence a été ajoutée pour le coefficient de variation de chaque relevé de moyenne nominal; c. l'IEC 62706 est citée en référence pour les conditions d'essais environnementaux, électromagnétiques et mécaniques; d. des informations ont été ajoutées concernant l'exposition aux conditions climatiques.
Instrumenti za zaščito pred sevanjem - Spektroskopski alarmni osebni detektorji sevanja za odkrivanje nedovoljenega prometa z radioaktivnimi snovmi (IEC 62618:2022)
Ta dokument se uporablja za spektroskopske alarmne osebne detektorje sevanja (SPRD). Spektroskopski alarmni osebni detektorji zaznavajo in ugotavljajo sevanje gama in lahko zaznajo nevtronsko sevanje. Spektroskopske alarmne osebne detektorje je mogoče nositi na pasu ali v žepu, kjer uporabnika opozarjajo na prisotnost vira sevanja. Spektroskopski alarmni osebni detektorji omogočajo iskanje, podobno kot osebni detektorji sevanja (PRD), in omogočajo ugotavljanje virov sevanja. Razločijo lahko med alarmi, ki jih sprožijo naravno prisotni radioaktivni materiali (NORM), ali alarmi, ki izvirajo iz medicinskih radionuklidov, in alarmi iz industrijskih virov ali posebnih jedrskih materialov (SNM).
