Radiation protection instrumentation - Highly sensitive hand-held instruments for neutron detection of radioactive material

This standard applies to hand-held instruments used for the detection and localization of neutron emitting radioactive material. These instruments are highly sensitive meaning that they are designed to detect slight variations in the range of usual background that may be caused by illicit trafficking or inadvertent movement of radioactive material. This high sensitivity allows scanning of larger volume items such as vehicles and containers. These instruments may also be used in fixed or temporally fixed unattended mode to monitor check points or critical areas. Instruments addressed by this standard shall also provide a means to detect photon radiation for personal protection.

Instrumentation pour la radioprotection - Instruments portables de haute sensibilité pour la détection neutronique de matières radioactives

La CEI 62534:2010 s'applique aux instruments portables utilisés pour la détection et la localisation des substances radioactives émettant des neutrons. Ces instruments sont à haute sensibilité, ce qui signifie qu'ils sont conçus pour détecter de faibles variations dans le domaine de l'environnement habituel, lesquelles peuvent avoir pour origine le transport illicite ou des mouvements fortuits de substances radioactives. Cette haute sensibilité permet le balayage d'objets de grand volume, tels que des véhicules et des conteneurs. L'objet de la présente Norme est d'établir des exigences d'aptitude à la fonction, de fournir des exemples de méthodes d'essai acceptables et de spécifier des caractéristiques générales, des conditions générales d'essai, des caractéristiques de rayonnement, des caractéristiques de sécurité électriques et environnementales, qui sont utilisées pour déterminer si un instrument est conforme aux exigences de la présente Norme.

Instrumenti za zaščito pred sevanjem - Zelo občutljivi ročni instrumenti za zaznavanje nevtronskega sevanja radioaktivnega materiala

Ta standard velja za ročne instrumente za zaznavanje in lokalizacijo nevtronskega sevanja radioaktivnega materiala. Ti instrumenti so visoko občutljivi, kar pomeni, da so namenjeni zaznavanju rahlih variacij običajnega stanja, ki jih lahko povzroči ilegalni promet ali nenameren premik radioaktivnega materiala. Ta visoka občutljivost omogoča skeniranje večjih elementov, kot so vozila in kontejnerji. 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.  Instrumenti, ki jih obravnava ta standard, omogočajo tudi zaznavanje fotonskega sevanja za namen osebne zaščite.
