Installation monitoring

Additionally, and despite its name, NDT may in fact still require boiler components to be drilled or cut in order to install monitoring devices prior to using the test equipment. 

Mobile and flexibly installable monitoring devices with low power consumption which might still need a protective container, delivering data of relatively high quality, or alternatively could be low cost sensors used very flexibly, e.g. at lampposts or on buses,... 

Personnel cost (all cost for personnel including additional costs and administrative costs). Cost which occur for personal that is in charge of installing monitoring devices, taking samples and analysing the samples in laboratories. (Is a professional needed for all procedures or is a semi-skilled worker sufficient )... 

A major reason for installing monitor wells is to provide early warning of ground-water contamination.

Permanently installed monitors for detecting radioactive contamination in air should be provided at selected locations in a nuclear power plant. The activity concentration in air should be determined, at least for those accessible rooms of the controlled area where airborne radioactive substances may be present in amounts that could influence the radiation doses to workers. In LWRs, monitors should also be located at the ventilation ducts for exhaust air from the following areas ... 

It is possible to test ventilation systems by installing monitoring probes for post-installation validation If a 1 200 g DPM material is to function as a gas barrier It should be installed according to BRE 212/BRE414, being taped and sealed to all penetrations. 

Monitoring in subfloor voids should preferably be carried out via specially installed monitoring points. In open voids these can be retrofitted by drilling through walls and installing small diameter tubes to the centre of the void.

The decision to install monitoring instrumentation and to safety classify it is usually taken on the basis of the relevance of the external event hazard for system design and, in general, on the basis of the instrumentation s significance for the plant s emergency procedures. Seismic monitoring and automatic scram systems, when installed, need to be properly classified for safety and adequate redundancy according to their objectives. 

In summary, it is emphasized that the radionuclide specific activities measured here are very small. The values are many orders of magnitude less than those of the naturally occurring radionuclides in environmental samples, and meaningless in terms of an additional radiation exposure to the public. The measurements serve only to document the events of that time, to attain reference values for checking the plausibility of measurement input data in the German federal IMIS system, and to test the sensitivity of the installed monitoring capabilities. In this last respect, the results impressively demonstrate that even such small traces of contaminations are rapidly detected with the current measmement installations.
