20、ATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION _ RADIATION PROTECTION INSTRUMENTATION MEASUREMENT OF DISCRETE RADIONUCLIDES IN THE ENVIRONMENT IN SITU PHOTON SPECTROMETRY SYSTEM USING A GERMANIUM DETECTOR FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardiz

21、ation 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 electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes Internat

22、ional Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical 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

23、 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 for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the

24、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 has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have

25、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 accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misint

26、erpretation 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 regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding nationa

27、l or regional publication shall be clearly indicated 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 car

28、ried out by independent certification bodies. 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 Co

29、mmittees for any personal 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

30、 to the Normative references 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 b

31、e held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61275 has been prepared by subcommittee 45B: Radiation protection instrumentation, of IEC technical committee 45: Nuclear instrumentation. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition issued in

32、 1997. It constitutes a technical revision. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows: update the terminology to encompass the latest technologies, revise test methods to account for methodological developments and performance criteria with the latest HPGe detecto

33、r technologies and digital electronics. BS IEC 61275:2013 6 61275 IEC:2013 The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 45B/762/FDIS 45B/769/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in

34、the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. 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

35、specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended.

36、RMANIUM DETECTOR 1 Scope and object This International Standard is applicable to a portable or transportable photon spectrometry assembly using a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector to survey, in situ, generally at 1 m above ground level, areas in the environment for discrete radionuclides. Such e

37、quipment is used to make rapid assessments of activity levels and corresponding free air exposure rates from photon emitting radionuclides. Such measurements may be used to develop guidance for subsequent follow-up action, for example including radiological assessments, sampling and monitoring progr

38、ammes. (This standard does not apply to mobile measurement systems that are covered by a separate standard. See IEC 62438.) This standard specifies for such an assembly the general characteristics and test methods for evaluating radiation, electrical, mechanical, safety and environmental characteris

39、tics specific to the applications described above. Advice is also provided in annexes as to the calibration, appropriate use and interpretation of the system for in situ measurements. An in situ spectrometry system is a combination of instruments or assemblies designed to measure, in situ, the fluen

40、ce of gamma-rays incident on the detector, in order to rapidly survey areas for discrete radionuclides present in the soil or air, either natural or manmade. The purpose of this standard is to specify the performance characteristics of assemblies intended for the determination of surface soil activi

41、ty. Accordingly, this standard a) specifies the functions and performance characteristics of measuring assemblies; and b) specifies the methods of testing compliance against the requirements of this standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively refere
