13、rnational Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has
14、 been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical s
15、tandardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at
16、 least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 8529 may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 8529-1 was prepar
17、ed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 85, Nuclear energy, Subcommittee SC 2, Radiation protection. ISO 8529 consists of the following parts, under the general title Reference neutron radiations: Part 1: Characteristics and methods of production Part 2: Calibration fundamentals of radiation protection dev
18、ices related to the basic quantities characterizing the radiation field Part 3: Calibration of area and personal dosimeters and determination of response as a function of energy and angle of incidence Annexes A and C form a normative part of this part of ISO 8529.

19、 8529-1:2001(E)v Introduction This part of ISO 8529 supersedes ISO 8529:1989. It is the first of a set of three International Standards concerning the calibration of dosimeters and dose-rate meters for neutron radiation for protection purposes. It describes the characteristics and methods of product
20、ion of the reference neutron radiations to be used for calibrations. ISO 8529-2 describes fundamentals related to the physical quantities characterizing the radiation field and calibration procedures in general terms, with emphasis on active dose-rate meters and the use of radionuclide sources. ISO
21、8529-3 deals with dosimeters for area and individual monitoring, describing the respective procedures for calibrating and determining the response in terms of the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) operational quantities. Conversion coefficients for converting neutro
22、n fluence into these operational quantities are provided in ISO 8529-3.ISO 8529-1:2001(E)v Inrtitcudono Thsi rapt of IOS 5892 surepssede ISO 85:92891.9 tI si hte frist fo a ste fo rhtee Iretnnatinola atSradnsd ccnorening eht carbilaitno fo sodmiretes dna sod-erate merets for rtuenon rdataiion for pr

26、cifies the reference neutron radiations, in the energy range from thermal up to 20 MeV, for calibrating neutron-measuring devices used for radiation protection purposes and for determining their response as a function of neutron energy. Reference radiations are given for neutron fluence rates of up
27、to 1 10 9 m 2 s 1 , corresponding, at a neutron energy of 1 MeV, to dose-equivalent rates of up to 100 mSv h 1 . This part of ISO 8529 is concerned only with the methods of producing and characterizing the neutron reference radiations. The procedures for applying these radiations for calibrations ar
28、e described in ISO 8529-2 and ISO 8529-3. The reference radiations specified are the following: neutrons from radionuclide sources, including neutrons from sources in a moderator; neutrons produced by nuclear reactions with charged particles from accelerators; neutrons from reactors. In view of the
29、methods of production and use of them, these reference radiations are divided, for the purposes of this part of ISO 8529, into the following two separate sections. In clause 4, radionuclide neutron sources with wide spectra are specified for the calibration of neutron- measuring devices. These sourc
30、es should be used by laboratories engaged in the routine calibration of neutron-measuring devices, the particular design of which has already been type tested. In clause 5, accelerator-produced monoenergetic neutrons and reactor-produced neutrons with wide or quasi monoenergetic spectra are specifie
31、d for determining the response of neutron-measuring devices as a function of neutron energy. Since these reference radiations are produced at specialized and well equipped laboratories, only the minimum of experimental detail is given. For the conversion of neutron fluence into the quantities recommended for radiation protection purposes, conversion coefficients have been calculated based on the spectra presented in normative annex A and using the fluence-to-dose-equivalent conversion coefficients as a function of neutron energy as given in ICRP Publication 74 and ICRU Report 57.
