Radiation protection instrumentation - Installed, portable or transportable assemblies - Measurement of beam direction and air kerma rate
Abstract
This document is applicable to installed, portable or transportable assemblies intended to measure the direction of an X or gamma radiation source in terms of azimuth and elevation angles, the X or gamma air kerma rate at the equipment location and the attenuation coefficient in a given medium and the related effective energy of the X or gamma radiation incident to the equipment location. The energy range of X or gamma radiation is at least between 50 keV and 1,5 MeV. The document specifies general characteristics, general test procedures, electrical, safety and environmental requirements and the identification certificate for the assemblies. It does not apply to thermoluminescence dosimetry systems or other passive integrating devices. It also does not provide specifications for measurements of beta radiation and neutrons.
