35、dustry to measure or provide information to otherwise enable quantification of the radionuclide inventory of packages containing radioactive materials. This International Standard specifically considers gamma spectrometry measurements made on packages containing radioactive waste.The methods and tec
36、hniques discussed within this International Standard find application in the routine assay of various types of radioactive waste, packaged in a variety of ways, employing a variety of container sizes, and types. They range from basic techniques, which have been in use for many years, through to stat
37、e of the art techniques that have been developed because of the increasing variety and forms being assayed and the demands to satisfy increasingly challenging performance criteria.Where guidance is provided, this is viewed as best current practice and is based on experience of operating quantitative
38、 gamma spectrometry measurement systems, within a variety of applications, for the purpose of providing radionuclide identification and activity information.The objective of this International Standard is to promote a consistent approach to gamma spectrometry measurements made on packages containing
39、 radioactive waste. ISO 2015 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 19017:2017Guidance for gamma spectrometry measurement of radioactive waste1 ScopeThis International Standard is applicable to gamma radiation measurements on radioactive waste.Radioactive waste can be found in different forms and exhibit a
40、wide range of characteristics, including the following: raw or unconditioned waste, including process waste (filters, resins, control rods, scrap, etc.) and waste from dismantling or decommissioning; conditioned waste in various forms and matrices (bitumen, cement, hydraulic binder, etc.); very low
41、level (VLLW), low level (LLW), intermediate level (ILW) and high level radioactive waste (HLW); different package shapes: cylinders, cubes, parallelepipeds, etc.Guidance is provided in respect of implementation, calibration, and quality control. The diversity of applications and system realizations
42、(ranging from research to industrial systems, from very low level to high level radioactive waste, from small to large volume packages with different shapes, with different performance requirements and allowable measuring time) renders it impossible to provide specific guidance for all instances; th
43、e objective of this International Standard is, therefore, to establish a set of guiding principles. Ultimately, implementation is to be performed by suitably qualified and experienced persons and based on a thorough understanding of the influencing factors, contributing variables and performance req
44、uirements of the specific measurement application.This International Standard assumes that the need for the provision of such a system will have been adequately considered and that its application and performance requirements will have been adequately defined through the use of a structured requirem
45、ents capture process, such as data quality objectives (DQO).It is noted that, while outside the scope of this International Standard, many of the principles, measurement methods, and recommended practices discussed here are also equally applicable to gamma measurements of items other than radioactiv
46、e waste (e.g. bulk food, water, free-standing piles of materials) or to measurements made on radioactive materials contained within non-traditional packages (e.g. in transport containers).2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.NOTE Definit
