DIN EN 60761-1 VDE 0493-1-1:2005-05

Radioactive material can be emitted not only by nuclear facilities, but also by burning of fossile or other materials. This part of standards series DIN EN 60761 is applicable to equipment for continuously monitoring radioactivity in gaseous effluents during normal operations and during anticipated operational occurences. Such equipment may, nevertheless, function during accident conditions. This part of the standards series specifies the general requirements while the parts 2 through 5 specify the application relevant details. The standard is restricted to equipment for continuously monitoring of radioactivity in gaseous effluents. It does not deal with sample extraction and laboratory analysis.
