Area and personnel monitoring

Area monitoring may include measurements of radiation dose rates, airborne activities and surface contamination. In the controlled areas, fixed continuously operating instruments with local alarm and unambiguous readout should be installed to give information on the radiation dose rates. Any such instruments shall have ranges adequate to cover the expected levels. 

Portable or mobile dose rate meters shall be provided for monitoring in spent fuel storage areas. Fixed or portable instruments to detect external contamination of workers shall be provided at exits from locations where there is a significant probability of such contamination. Instruments for area and personnel monitoring, whether fixed or portable, shall comply with appropriate Regulatory Body standards.
