Le présent document spécifie les caractéristiques d''étalons de référence de contamination de surface radioactive, traçables par rapport à des étalons nationaux de mesurage, permettant l''étalonnage des contrôleurs de contamination de surface. Le présent document se rapporte aux émetteurs alpha, aux émetteurs bêta et aux émetteurs de photons dont l''énergie photonique maximale est inférieure ou égale à 1,5 MeV.
ISO 8769:2016 specifies the characteristics of reference sources of radioactive surface contamination, traceable to national measurement standards, for the calibration of surface contamination monitors. This International Standard relates to alpha-emitters, beta-emitters, and photon emitters of maximum photon energy not greater than 1,5 MeV. It does not describe the procedures involved in the use of these reference sources for the calibration of surface contamination monitors. Such procedures are specified in IEC 60325[8], IEC 62363[9], and other documents. NOTE Since some of the proposed photon sources include filters, the photon sources are to be regarded as sources of photons of a particular energy range and not as sources of a particular radionuclide. For example, a 241Am source with the recommended filtration does not emit from the surface the alpha particles or characteristic low-energy L X-ray photons associated with the decay of the nuclide. It is designed to be a source that emits photons with an average energy of approximately 60 keV. ISO 8769:2016 also specifies preferred reference radiations for the calibration of surface contamination monitors. These reference radiations are realized in the form of adequately characterized large area sources specified, without exception, in terms of surface emission rates which are traceable to national standards.
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.
