NCRP Report No. 88, Radiation Alarms and Access Control Systems
NCRP Report No. 88 addresses two fundamental elements of radiation safety that must be employed in facilities utilizing radiation generating equipment or radioactive materials. The first of these requires control of access to areas where unacceptable levels of radiation exposure may exist. The second specifies the provision of alarm systems to alert personnel when potentially hazardous radiation levels are present. This Report treats these two aspects in some detail. Guidance is provided from which professional radiation safety personnel can develop systems to meet the needs for any particular operation or facility. Information is provided which will be useful in designing radiation alarm and access control systems for a very wide range of facilities ranging from x-ray machines which might be found in a medical installation to a facility that might need a neutron criticality alarm system. Matters such as protective function logic systems, reliability and criteria for selecting alarm and access control systems and education and training are treated in this Report.
