This standard is applicable to equipment for the monitoring of radioactive substances within plant process streams of stationary nuclear power plants with light-water reactors during specified normal operation (routine operation) and during anticipated operational occurrences (incidents).
This standard provides criteria for the design, selection, functional location, testing, and calibra-tion of stationary radiation equipment to be used for continuous monitoring of plant process streams.
The following are not within the scope of this standard:
— process stream radiation monitoring equipment for accident conditions.
— monitoring equipment for liquid, gaseous and air-borne radioactive effluents or discharges during specified normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences and accidents.
