17、International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and

18、electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical comm

19、ittees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization fo

20、r Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee

21、 has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and 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 acc

22、urate, 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 international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regio

23、nal publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformit

24、y with an IEC Publication. 6) All 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 pe

25、rsonal injury, property damage or 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 r

26、eferences cited in this publication. 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

27、for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60768 has been prepared by subcommittee 45A: Instrumentation and control of nuclear facilities, of IEC technical committee 45: Nuclear instrumentation. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 19

28、83. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: to clarify the definitions. to up-date the reference to new standards published since the first issue. to update the units of radiation.

This publication has been drafted

30、 in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. This International Standard is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60951:2009. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstor

BS IEC 60768:2009 6 60768 IEC:2009 INTRODUCTION a) Technical background, main issues and organisation of this Standard This IEC standard

32、 specifically focuses on process streams radiation monitoring systems used for normal and incident operations. This standard is intended for use by purchasers in developing specifications for their plant-specific radiation monitoring systems and by manufacturers to identify needed product characteri

33、stics when developing systems for normal and incident monitoring conditions. Some specific instrument characteristics such as measurement range, required energy response, and ambient environment requirements will depend upon the specific application. In such cases guidance is provided on determining

34、 the specific requirements, but specific requirements themselves are not stated. b) Situation of this Standard in the structure of the IEC SC 45A standards series IEC 60768 is at the third level in the hierarchy of SC 45A standards. It provides guidance on the design and testing of process streams r

35、adiation monitoring equipment used for normal and incident conditions. Other standards developed by SC 45A and SC 45B provide guidance on instruments used for monitoring radiation as part of normal operations and also for accident and post accident conditions. IEC 60761 series provide requirements f

36、or equipment for continuous off-line monitoring of radioactivity in gaseous effluents in normal conditions. IEC 60861 provides requirements for equipment for continuous off-line monitoring of radioactivity in liquid effluents in normal conditions. IEC 60951 standard series establishes requirements f

37、or equipment for radiation monitoring for accident and post accident conditions. Finally, ISO standard 2889 gives guidance on gas and particulate sampling. The relationship between these various radiation monitoring standards is given in the table below: Developer ISO SC 45A Process and safety monit

BS IEC 60768:200960768 IEC:2009 7 d) Description

41、of the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series and relationships with other IEC documents, IAEA and ISO The top-level document of the IEC SC 45A standard series is IEC 61513. It provides general requirements for I it shall be specified by the plant designer. The manufacturer shall specify the mi

42、nimum detectable activity (or detection limit) for nuclides of interest, taking into account the check sources or provisions incorporated to provide an on-scale indication on the monitor, as well as all useful data needed to specify the beginning of the effective range of measurement, even in transi

43、ent operating conditions. The influence quantities, their range of values and the variation they cause on the minimum detectable activity (or detection limit) shall be specified. 4.5 Precision (or repeatability) Precision (or repeatability) is a measure of the dispersion of the estimations around th

44、eir average value. It shall be given by the manufacturer in the effective range of measurement in % of the signal value for a given confidence interval (or probability of error). Assuming that the estimations follow a Gaussian distribution, this probability should be expressed in term of a number of

45、 standard deviations. NOTE For example, the precision could be 20 % of the signal value within a part of the effective range of measurement with a probability of 95 % (meaning that all the estimations are within 2, with the standard deviation), and 30 % within another part of the effective range of

46、measurement with another probability. Precision shall be consistent with incident analysis assumptions, operator needs, and requirements imposed by other systems that use the radiation monitoring signals. Moreover, they shall be characterized for signal values below the beginning of the effective ra

47、nge of measurement. The influence quantities, their range of values and the variation they cause on precision shall be specified by the manufacturer. Typically, the precision should be within 10 % over the entire effective range of measurement, all influence quantities taken into account. 4.6 Accura

48、cy (or relative error) Accuracy (or relative intrinsic error) is a measure of the deviation between the conventionally true value and the average of the estimations. It shall be given by the manufacturer in the effective range of measurement in % of the signal value for a given confidence interval (

49、or probability of error). Assuming that the estimations follow a Gaussian distribution, this probability should be expressed in term of a number of standard deviations. NOTE For example, the accuracy could be 20 % of the signal value within a part of the effective range of measurement with a probability of 95 % (meaning that all the estimations are within 2, with the standard deviation), and 30 % within another part of the effective range of measurement with another proba
