    13、tory process for which nuclear standards were desired. An appeal was made to the Priorities Committee of the ANSI Nuclear Technical Advisory Board for support, and Subcommittee N43-3.2 was activated under the sponsorship of the National Bureau of Standards to develop this standard for gauging device

    14、s. Work on the standard was begun in 1973, and the draft proposal was completed in 1976. The standard was ultimately published in 1979 as ANSI N538-1979. It was also identified as NBS Handbook 129. This standard establishes a system for classification for gauging devices that use sealed radioisotope

    15、s or machine-generated sources of radiation based on performance specifications relating to radiation safety. In addition to specific tests for use conditions and accident conditions (fire), guidelines for other safety features and considerations are presented. This standard does not apply to the me

    16、asurement performance of gauging devices. ANSI N538-1979 was submitted to ISO/TC 85 and was merged with a French national standard to produce ISO 7205-1986, Radionuclide gauges Gauges designed for permanent installation. Reaffirmed and Renumbered as ANSI N43.8 In 1985, ANSI N538 was reviewed by ANSI

    17、 Subcommittees N43.2 and N43. In 1986 it was reaffirmed without change. It was subsequently renumbered and reissued as ANSI N43.8 and reaffirmed again in 1988. Revised Standard ANSI/HPS N43.8-2001 Review of ANSI N43.8 was undertaken again in 1994. Subcommittee N43.2 identified the need for numerous

    18、changes to make it compatible with the new 10 CFR 20 and other changes in the field. After a number of review sessions with extensive comments, a final consensus was reached in February 1999. The original document was recreated in digital form. Iit was revised again to convert it to the new ANSI sty

    19、le and was submitted to N43 and HPS for review and voting. It was finally published in 2001. Revised Standard ANSI/HPS N43.8-2008 Formation of the five-year review subcommittee for ANSI N43.8 was initiated on February 20, 2006. Five subcommittee reviews were held during 2006. One additional review w

    20、as held during 2007. The scope was broadened to include devices with any machine-generated source of radiation, not just x-ray tubes and radionuclide sources. Section 3.2 is new and a number of definitions were added. References were updated, errors were corrected, text was clarified, and SI units w

    21、ere made dominant throughout. The document was submitted to N43 for ballot on April 1, 2007. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD ANSI/HPS N43.8-2008 1 Classification of Industrial Ionizing Radiation Gauging Devices 1.0 Scope This standard applies to radiation gauging devices, commonly called devices, that us

    22、e sealed radioactive sources or machine-generated sources for the determination or control of thickness, density, level, interface location, particle size distribution, or qualitative or quantitative chemical composition. The standard establishes a system for classification of the gauging devices ba

    23、sed on performance specifications relating to radiation safety. In addition to specific tests for use conditions and accident conditions (fire), guidelines for other safety features and considerations are presented. This standard does not apply to the measurement performance of gauging devices. 2.0

    24、Definitions accessible surface: any surface of the device that can readily be reached by any part of the human body without the use of tools or without the removal of any part of the device. ALARA: acronym for “as low as reasonably achievable,” which means making every reasonable effort to maintain

    25、exposures to radiation as low as practical, consistent with the purpose for which the activity is undertaken, taking into account the state of technology and economic and social considerations. dose rates shallow dose equivalent rate (7 mg cm2): For x-ray, gamma, and charged-particle radiation, the

    26、radiation level in Sv h1(mrem h1) measured with a detector having a total window and absorber density thickness no greater than 7 mg cm2of tissue equivalent material. All neutron radiation levels in Sv h1(mrem h1) are also included. eye dose equivalent rate (300 mg cm2): For x-ray, gamma, and charge

    27、d-particle radiation, the radiation level in Sv h1(mrem h1) measured with a detector having a total window and absorber density thickness no greater than 300 mg cm2and no less than 270 mg cm2of tissue equivalent material. All neutron radiation levels in Sv h1(mrem h1) are also included. deep dose eq

All neutron radiat

    29、ion levels in Sv h1(mrem h1) are also included. dummy source: facsimile of a radioactive source of exactly the same material and construction as a sealed source but containing, in place of the radioactive material, a substance resembling it as closely as practicable in terms of physical and chemical

    30、 properties. gauging device (device): a mechanism containing a source of ionizing radiation that is designed and manufactured for the purpose of determining or controlling thickness, density, level, interface location, or qualitative or quantitative chemical composition of materials. It may include

    31、components such as radiation shields, useful-beam controls, and other safety features in order to meet the requirements or specifications of this standard. interlock: an electrical and/or mechanical safety feature designed to preclude access to an area of radiation hazard either by preventing entry

    32、or by automatically removing the hazard. isodistance contour: the imaginary surface around a device at a specified distance from the nearest accessible surfaces. For practical reasons in this standard, the literal interpretation has been simplified as defined in Section 7.3.2 and Figures 1-1 and 2-1

    33、 through 2-6. leakage radiation: all radiation coming from within the source housing, except the useful beam. machine-generated source: a non-radioactive component that is used as a source of ionizing radiation (including x-ray tubes, particle accelerators, neutron generators, etc.). Note: Some mach

    35、ing measured for a backscatter gauging device. nearest accessible surface: the accessible surface(s) of the device closest to the point or region of interest. protective barrier: a structure or obstacle to limit access of personnel to fields of radiation. A protective barrier is distinguished from a

    36、 radiation shield in that it limits personnel access to radiation sources, whereas a radiation shield reduces radiation intensity. radiation shield: the material used intentionally to reduce the intensity of radiation entering a region. radiation source (source): a source of ionizing radiation in wh

    40、trol. source ON (beam on): the condition for a device equipped with useful-beam controls when the useful beam is properly maximized by actuating the control. source holder: a device used to support and retain the source. source housing: an enclosure containing or incorporating the source, source hol

    41、der, and means for attenuation of the radiation. stray radiation: the sum of leakage and scattered radiation. useful beam: radiation that passes through the window, aperture, cone, or other collimating device of the source housing; sometimes called primary beam. user: a company, agency, or individua

    42、l who, in the course of business, uses devices defined by this standard for their intended purposes. x-ray tube source: a common type of machine-generated source in which the ionizing radiation is produced by bombarding a metallic target with energetic electrons in an x-ray tube. X-ray tube sources

    43、produce radiation that is electro-magnetic and have wavelengths shorter than those of ultraviolet light. 3.0 Safety Features and Requirements 3.1 Source Integrity 3.1.1 Radioactive Source The radioactive material shall be in the form of a sealed source that shall be classified in accordance with the

    44、 American National Standard ANSI/HPS N43.6-2007, “Sealed Radioactive Sources Classification.” Sealed source leak tests shall be performed periodically to verify containment of the radioactive material. The leak test frequency should be based on the source capsule construction, conditions of use, and

    45、 degree of source protection provided by the device. Sealed source leak tests should be conducted at the nearest available access to the sealed source or likely areas of contamination leakage without unnecessarily exposing personnel. Comprehensive leak testing information is contained in ISO 9978 an

    46、d other standards. 3.1.2 Machine-Generated Source The source shall be such that no radiation is emitted except by application of electrical power to the source. Provisions shall be made to limit both the current through the source and the ANSI/HPS N43.8-2008 3 voltage across the source, so that radi

    47、ation levels do not exceed the device classification under use conditions or through circuit component failures. Provisions shall be made to ensure the high voltage is automatically disabled before loss of any integral shielding in the event of fire or abnormal elevated temperatures. This provision

    48、exempts machine-generated sources from accident condition (fire) classification. 3.2. Source Retention The device shall be designed to retain its source(s) during normal and extreme conditions of use. It shall also be able to maintain the source(s) in a shielded condition under these conditions. In

    49、addition, radioactive sources shall be retained under likely accident conditions. 3.3 Source Access The device shall be designed to restrict access to the source of radiation by personnel who are not properly trained and licensed or registered for such access. 3.4 Integral Radiation Shields Shielding that is part of the device shall reduce the radiation emitted by the source to the levels required by the device classification. In addition, the manufacturer should design the shielding in such a manner that
