Sealed-source users have established an enviabl
31、e record of safe usage as a result of careful scrutiny of the conditions of application of the sealed radioactive source by the regulating authority, the supplier and the user. However, as the application of sealed radioactive sources becomes more diversified and as regulating agencies become more n
32、umerous, an International Standard is needed to specify the characteristics of a sealed radioactive source and the essential performance and safety testing methods for a particular application and, thus, maintain the record of safe usage.

33、2014ISO 2919:2012(E)Radiological protection Sealed radioactive sources General requirements and classification1 ScopeThis International Standard establishes a classification system for sealed radioactive sources that is based on test performance and specifies general requirements, performance tests,
34、 production tests, marking and certification. It provides a set of tests by which manufacturers of sealed radioactive sources can evaluate the safety of their products in use and users of such sources can select types which are suitable for the required application, especially where protection again
35、st the release of radioactive material, with consequent exposure to ionizing radiation, is concerned. This International Standard can also serve as guidance to regulating authorities.The tests fall into several groups, including, for example, exposure to abnormally high and low temperatures and a va
36、riety of mechanical tests. Each test can be applied in several degrees of severity. The criterion of pass or fail depends on leakage of the contents of the sealed radioactive source.NOTE Leakage test methods are given in ISO 9978.Although this International Standard classifies sealed sources by a va
37、riety of tests, it does not imply that a sealed source will maintain its integrity if used continuously at the rated classification. For example, a sealed source tested for 1 h at 600 C might, or might not, maintain its integrity if used continuously at 600 C.A list of the main typical applications
38、of sealed radioactive sources, with a suggested test schedule for each application, is given in Table 3. The tests constitute minimum requirements corresponding to the applications in the broadest sense. Factors to be considered for applications in especially severe conditions are listed in 4.2.This
39、 International Standard makes no attempt to classify the design of sources, their method of construction or their calibration in terms of the radiation emitted. Radioactive materials inside a nuclear reactor, including sealed sources and fuel elements, are not covered by this International Standard.
