    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    IEC 60532:2010 applies to installed dose rate meters, warning assemblies and monitors that are used to prevent or mitigate a minor radioactive release, or minor degradation of fuel, within the nuclear power plants/nuclear facility design basis, and to warn personnel or to ensure their safety during or following events that involve or result in release of radioactivity in the nuclear power plants/nuclear facility, or risk of radiation exposure. This equipment is typically classified as category "A" or "B" or "C" or "not classified" in IEC 61226. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are updates taking account of the requirements of IEC standards published since 1996.
