Radiation protection instrumentation - In vivo counters - Classification, general requirements and test procedures for portable, transportable and installed equipment

Specifies the classification, general design requirements, performance characteristics and test procedures for in vivo counting systems for detecting trace amounts of radionuclides in the bodies of persons working in nuclear power plants, laboratories and facilities handling radionuclides, and inhabitants living on territory which may be contaminated. The purpose is to determine the dose equivalent to organs and the effective dose of internal radiation for the whole body.

Instrumentation pour la radioprotection - Systèmes de mesure in vivo - Classification, exigences générales et procédures d'essai pour les appareils portables, mobiles ou à poste fixe

Spécifie la classification, les exigences générales de conception, les caractéristiques de performance et les procédures d'essai des systèmes de mesure in vivo utilisés pour détecter les traces de radionucléides dans le corps des personnes travaillant dans des centrales nucléaires, des laboratoires et des installations où l'on manipule des radionucléides, ou des personnes vivant dans des zones susceptibles d'être contaminées. Il s'agit de déterminer la dose équivalente aux organes et la dose efficace du rayonnement interne pour l'ensemble du corps.
