31、,-American National Standard Performance Criteria for Spectroscopy-Based Portal Monitors Used for Homeland Security 1. 1.11.2Overview Scope This standard specifies the operational and performance requirements for spectroscopy-based portal monitors used in U.S. Homeland Security applications. Spectro

32、scopy-based portal monitors have the ability to detect radioactivity and identify radionuclides that may be present in or on persons, vehicles, or containers through the use of gamma spectroscopy techniques. Performance requirements for those portal monitors that do not provide information about the

33、 specific radionuclide present are addressed by ANSI N42.35. Operational requirements established by this standard include radiation detection and radionuclide identification, and those requirements associated with the expected electrical, mechanical, and environmental conditions when a monitor is d

34、eployed. The test methods described in this standard provide a means to ensure that a monitor meets the requirements stated. Successful completion of the tests described in this standard should not be construed as an ability to successfully detect and identify all radionuclides in all environments.

35、This standard does not address portal monitors that may have the ability to reduce the effects caused by the presence of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) without the ability to identify specific radionuclides (see ANSI N42.35).1Purpose The purpose of this standard is to specify the pe

36、rformance criteria and test methods for spectroscopy-based portal monitors used for Homeland Security. 1The ANSI N42 publications included in this clause are available from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, USA (http:/standards.ieee.org/

38、ria for Spectroscopy-Based Portal Monitors Used for Homeland Security 1.31.3.11.3.22. General Evaluation of monitors Testing is conducted under a set of conditions to determine if a monitor meets the requirements of this standard. Special applications, which could include a monitors operation under

39、weather conditions not addressed by this standard, shall require additional testing. Detection needs not addressed by this standard shall also require additional testing. Evaluations provide information to government agencies and other users on the capability of radionuclide-identifying portal monit

40、ors for reliably detecting and identifying radioactive material. Meeting performance specifications Obtaining operating performance that meets or exceeds the specifications stated in this standard depends upon properly installing the monitor, establishing appropriate operating parameters, providing

41、security for the systems, maintaining calibration, implementing a suitable routine testing and maintenance program, auditing compliance with quality requirements, and providing proper training for operating personnel.
