Selected monitoring practices
Description
This paper covers, in general terms, a discussion of considerations in monitoring and controlling radiation hazards in a nuclear plant. The following areas are discussed: types of fields encountered from fission and activation products, neutron fields, and others, with implications; related considerations such as calibration sources, emergency conditions, ALARA; portable survey instrument considerations as they apply to monitoring; personnel dosimetry, limitations and considerations; field control principles; and effluent evaluation considerations
