30、TRUMENTATION RADON AND RADON DECAY PRODUCT MEASURING INSTRUMENTS Part 3: Specific requirements for radon decay product measuring instruments FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical commit

31、tees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical

32、Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental a

33、nd non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreeme

34、nts of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and

35、 are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote i

36、nternational uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated

37、in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All

38、users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

39、other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publicatio

40、n. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such pa

41、tent rights. International Standard IEC 61577-3 has been prepared by sub-committee 45B: Radiation protection instrumentation, of IEC technical committee 45: Nuclear instrumentation. This second edition of IEC 61577-3 cancels and replaces IEC 61577-3:2002 and IEC 61263:1994. This edition constitutes

42、a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: Implementation of new requirements and tests concerning radiation detection performance. Implementation of new requirements and tests concerning environmental performance. 6

43、61577-3 IEC:2011 Harmonization of the requirements and tests concerning electrical and mechanical performance with other standards in the area of radiation protection instrumentation. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 45B/700/FDIS 45B/716/RVD Full i

44、nformation on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all parts of the IEC 61577 series, under the general title Radiation protection

45、 instrumentation Radon and radon decay product measuring instruments, can be found on the IEC website. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the

46、 specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. 61577-3 IEC:2011 7 INTRODUCTION Radon is a radioactive trace gas produced by the decay of 226Ra, 223Ra and 224Ra, respectively decay products of 238U, 235U and 232Th which

47、are present in the earths crust. By decay, radon isotopes (i.e., 222Rn, 219Rn, 220Rn) produce three decay chains, each ending in a stable lead isotope. The radon isotope 220Rn generally is called thoron1. NOTE In normal conditions, due to the very short half-life of 219Rn, its activity and the activ

48、ity of its RnDP2are considered negligible compared to the activity of the two other series. Its health effects are therefore not important. Thus in this standard 219Rn and its decay products are not considered. Radon isotopes and their corresponding short-lived Radon Decay Products (RnDP) (i.e., 218

49、Po, 214Pb, 214Bi, 214Po for 222Rn, and 216Po, 212Pb, 212Bi, 212Po, 208Tl for 220Rn) are of considerable importance, as they constitute the major part of the radiological exposure to natural radioactivity for the general public and workers. In some workplaces such as underground mines, spas and waterworks, the workers are exposed to very significant levels of RnDP. Various quantities of these radionuclides are ai
