Description

The immission measurement of alpha rays as an environmental monitoring programme is necessary for the production and processing of fuel elements and the WAA. Keeping within the dose limits according to Strl Sch V can only be achieved, if the important radio nuclides are detected with a detection limit, which corresponds to 1130 of the dose limits. For Pu 239/240, this is 3.7 x 10-6 Bg/m3 (0.1 f Cu/m3). These detection limits can be achieved by analysis of individual nuclides. (DG)

Abstract (German)

Die Immissionsmessung von Alphastrahlern als Umgebungsueberwachungsprogramm ist fuer Brennelementherstellung und -verarbeitung sowie die WAA notwendig. Die Einhaltung der Dosisgrenzwerte gemaess StrlSchV wird nur erreicht, wenn die wesentlichen Radionuklide mit einer Nachweisgrenze erfasst werden, die 1/30 der Dosisgrenzwerte entspricht. Fuer Pu-239/240 entspricht dies 3.7 x 10-6 Bg/m3 (0.1 fCi/m3). Diese Nachweisgrenzen sind nur durch Einzelnuklidanalyse erreichbar. (DG)
