Radiation monitors

The fundamentals of protection from radiation in nuclear power plants and other facilities handling radioactivity consist in managing operation and taking necessary measures to keep to workers and residents in and around those facilities safe enough from exposure to radiation due to the facilities operation. This paper, classifying radiation monitors used for radiation control into three groups of process monitors (emission control monitors), working environment monitors, and peripheral environment monitors, introduces the configurations and specifications of the typical examples each with a simple system diagram.
