IEEE/ANSI N42.54-2018

This standard encompasses monitoring all types of airborne radioactivity including aerosols, noble gases, iodines, and tritium in the workplace, in effluent, and in the environment. This standard includes initial design, manufacture, minimum performance, performance testing, calibration, and maintenance requirements. This standard covers both real-time monitors and air samplers.

The purpose of this standard is to integrate the relevant materials from ANSI N42.17B, ANSI N42.18, ANSI N42.30, and ANSI N323C into a single standard.1 The intended users would be government and commercial facilities having the potential for airborne radioactivity.

New IEEE Standard - Active. The complexity associated with quantitative assay and monitoring of aerosols and gasses can be substantial. This standard covers system design, manufacture, performance, testing, calibration, and maintenance requirements for noble gases, aerosols (including transuranics), tritium, and radioiodides.
