13、trotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields.

14、 To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC Na

15、tional Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization

16、(ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representatio

17、n from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot

18、be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications.

19、Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publ

20、ication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, pro

21、perty damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in

22、 this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying an

International Standard IEC 60951-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 45A: Instrumentation and control of nuclear facilities, of IEC technical committee 45: Nuclear instrumentation. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1988, as well as I

24、EC 60951-5, published in 1994. This edition constitutes a technical revision. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows: To clarify the definitions. To update the references to new standards published since the first issue. To update the units of radiation. BS IEC

29、 operations. This standard is intended for use by purchasers in developing specifications for their plant-specific radiation monitoring systems and by manufacturers to identify needed product characteristics when developing systems for accident monitoring conditions. Some specific instrument charact

30、eristics such as measurement range, required energy response, and ambient environment requirements will depend upon the specific application. In such cases. guidance is provided on determining the specific requirements, but specific requirements themselves are not stated. This standard is one in a s

31、eries of standards covering post-accident radiation monitors important to safety. The full series is comprised of the following standards. IEC 60951-1 General requirements IEC 60951-2 Equipment for continuous off-line monitoring of radioactivity in gaseous effluents and ventilation air IEC 60951-3 E

32、quipment for continuous high range area gamma monitoring IEC 60951-4 Equipment for continuous in-line or on-line monitoring of radioactivity in process streams b) Situation of the current standard in the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series The IEC 60951 series of standards are at the third l

33、evel in the hierarchy of SC 45A standards. They provide guidance on the design and testing of radiation monitoring equipment used for accident and post-accident conditions. Other standards developed by SC 45A and SC 45B provide guidance on instruments used for monitoring radiation as part of normal

34、operations. The IEC 60761 series provide requirements for equipment for continuous off-line monitoring of radioactivity in gaseous effluents in normal conditions. IEC 60861 provides requirements for equipment for continuous off-line monitoring of radioactivity in liquid effluents in normal condition

35、s. IEC 60768 provides requirements for equipment for continuous in-line and on-line monitoring of radioactivity in process streams in normal and incident conditions. Finally, ISO 2889 gives guidance on gas and particulate sampling. The relationship between these various radiation monitoring standard

36、s is given in Table 1 below.

40、this Standard establishes no additional functional requirements for safety systems. d) Description of the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series and relationships with other IEC documents and other bodies documents (IAEA, ISO) The top-level document of the IEC SC 45A standard series is IEC 6151

It provides general requirements for I noble gas, aerosol and specific nuclide (commonly iodine, in its different forms: inorganic iodine, organic iodine and iodine sticking on dust) monitors intended to measure the volumetric activity in air or gas systems (control room ventilation, reactor leak

This standard is only applicable to continuous off-line measurement, i.e. monitors wh

43、ose detector measures a representative proportion of the main effluent or ventilation stream at some remote location (sampling assembly). It does not apply to monitors with the detector positioned in or adjacent to the effluent or ventilation stream, which are within the scope of IEC 60951-4. Sample

44、 extraction and laboratory analysis, which are essential to a complete programme of effluent monitoring, are not within the scope of this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The measurement of activity discharge to the environment should ideally be comprehensive, but since measurement of halogen and particulate activity released in effluents during an accident is more complex, it is often judged that monitoring only noble gases will be suffic
