11、r on-line monitoring of radioactivity in process streams FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical 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-ope

12、ration on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. 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 a

13、s “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National 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 pre

14、paration. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (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 con

15、sensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation 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

16、 are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot 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

17、 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. 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 can

18、not be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 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 m

19、embers of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property 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 Publicatio

20、n or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in 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 Publicatio

21、n may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60951-4 has been prepared by subcommittee 45A: Instrumentation and control of nuclear facilities, of IEC technical committee 45: Nuclear instrumentation.

22、 This second edition of IEC 60951-4 cancels and replaces the first edition issued in 1991. It 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 fir

23、st issue. To update the units of radiation. BS IEC 60951-4:2009 4 60951-4 IEC:2009 This standard is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60951-1. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 45A/737/FDIS 45A/759/RVDFull information on the voting for the approval

24、 of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all parts of IEC 60951 series, under the general title Nuclear power plants Instrumentation important to safety Radiatio

25、n monitoring for accident and post-accident conditions, can be found on the IEC website. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the spec

26、ific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. BS IEC 60951-4:200960951-4 IEC:2009 5 INTRODUCTION a) Technical background, main issues and organisation of this standard This IEC standard specifically focuses on radiation mon

27、itoring systems used for accident and post-accident 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 moni

28、toring conditions. Some specific instrument characteristics 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 them

29、selves are not stated. This standard is one in a series 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 g

31、C 60951 series of standards are at the third level 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 us

32、ed for monitoring radiation as part of normal operations. 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 radioactivi

33、ty in liquid effluents in normal conditions. 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 t
