V. MONITORING
Monitoring refers to the checking, testing, and surveying of individuals, work
areas, materials and equipment for ionizing radiation and radioactivity.
Monitoring for radiation at accelerators can be complicated. Special
techniques and instrumentation may be necessary due to the existence of:
Mixed radiation fields (photons, protons, neutrons, etc.).
N
Pulsed beams.
N
Very high energy radiation.
N
High intensities of radiation (dose rates).
N
Magnetic and RF fields.
N
A.
Qualification of Monitors
Monitoring is only performed by Radiological Control Personnel or
others who are specifically trained and qualified to perform
monitoring.
B.
Area Monitoring
Monitoring of areas at accelerator facilities refers to monitoring for
radiation and contamination using fixed and portable instruments.
Monitoring may include measuring for:
Prompt radiation.
N
Residual radiation.
N
and includes:
Work areas.
N
Surfaces.
N
Water.
N
Air.
N
Non-work areas outside of enclosures.
