The object of BS EN 60761-5 is to establish specific standard requirements, including technical characteristics and general test conditions and to give examples of acceptable methods for the tritium effluent monitors defined in clause 4.
The general requirements, technical characteristics, test procedures, radiation characteristics, electrical, mechanical, safety and environmental characteristics are given in BS EN 60761-5.
BS EN 60761-5 is applicable to equipment designed to fulfill the following functions:
BS EN 60761-5 is applicable to equipment intended for the simultaneous, delayed or discrete sequential measurement of tritium in any gaseous form in gaseous effluents discharged into the environment.
BS EN 60761-5 on Equipment for continuous monitoring radioactivity in gaseous effluents is relevant to:
The equipment may also be used for the determination of the tritium activity discharge over a given period.
BS EN 60761-5 provides you with the procedure and necessary equipment for the continuous monitoring of radioactivity in gaseous effluents and provides specific requirements for tritium monitors.
BS EN 60761-5 assists in standardizing a procedure for monitoring the radioactivity to achieve comparability of data.
With compliance and obedience to guidance under BS EN 60761-5, you can accurately estimate radioactive emissions using tritium monitors so that it is safe for use.
