Water quality — Nickel-59 and nickel-63 — Part 1: Test method using liquid scintillation counting |
This document specifies the determination of nickel-59 and nickel-63 (59Ni and 63Ni) activity concentration in samples of all types of water using liquid scintillation counting (LSC). Using currently available liquid scintillation counters, this test method can measure 59Ni activity concentrations of 50 mBq·l−1 and 63Ni activity concentrations of 20 mBq·l−1 with a counting time of 200 min and a sample volume of 1,5 l.
NOTE These performance indicators are wholly dependent on the measurement regimes in individual laboratories; in particular, the detection limits for 59Ni are entirely dependent on the levels of 63Ni that can be present.
The range of application depends on the amount of dissolved material in the water and on the performance characteristics of the measurement equipment (background count rate and detection efficiency).
It is the laboratory’s responsibility to ensure the suitability of this test method for the water samples tested.

Water quality — Nickel-59 and nickel-63 — Part 2: Test method using ICP-MS |
This document specifies the determination of nickel-59 and nickel-63 (59Ni and 63Ni) activity concentration in samples of all types of water using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
Using currently available ICP-MS, this test method can measure 59Ni activity concentrations of 300 mBq⋅l−1 and 63Ni activity concentrations of 200 Bq⋅l−1. These values can be achieved with a sample volume of 1,0 l. Higher activity concentrations can be measured by either diluting the sample or using smaller sample aliquots or both.
NOTE These performance indicators are wholly dependent on the measurement regimes in individual laboratories; in particular, the detection limit is influenced by amount of stable nickel present.
The range of application depends on the amount of dissolved material in the water and on the performance characteristics of the measurement equipment (background count rate and counting efficiency).
It is the laboratory’s responsibility to ensure the suitability of this test method for the water samples tested.

Other readout methods (spectrophotometric, oscillometric) that are applicable when the ECB system is used as a routine dosimetry system are described.
ISO 51538:2009 applies provided the following conditions are satisfied.
The absorbed dose range is between 10 Gy and 2 MGy for gamma radiation and between 10 Gy and 200 kGy for high current electron accelerators.The absorbed-dose rate is less than 106 Gy s−1.For radionuclide gamma-ray sources, the initial photon energy is greater than 0,6 MeV. For bremsstrahlung photons, the energy of the electrons used to produce the bremsstrahlung photons is equal to or greater than 2 MeV. For electron beams, the initial electron energy is equal to or greater than 4 MeV. The ECB system may be used at energies of incident electrons lower than 4 MeV by employing thinner (in the beam direction) dosimeters. The ECB system may also be used at X-ray energies as low as 120 kVp. However, in this range of photon energies the effect caused by the ampoule wall is considerable.
The irradiation temperature of the dosimeter is within the range from −40°C to 80°C. The effects of size and shape of the dosimeter on the response of the dosimeter can adequately be taken into account by performing the appropriate calculations using cavity theory.

Practice for use of the ethanol-chlorobenzene dosimetry system |
1.1 This practice covers the preparation, handling, testing, and procedure for using the ethanol-chlorobenzene (ECB) dosimetry system to measure absorbed dose to water when exposed to ionizing radiation. The system consists of a dosimeter and appropriate analytical instrumentation. For simplicity, the system will be referred to as the ECB system. The ECB dosimeter is classified as a type I dosimeter on the basis of the effect of influence quantities. The ECB dosimetry system may be used as a reference standard dosimetry system or as a routine dosimetry system.
1.2 ISO/ASTM 51538 is one of a set of standards that provides recommendations for properly implementing dosimetry in radiation processing, and describes a means of achieving compliance with the requirements of ISO/ASTM Practice 52628 for the ECB system. It is intended to be read in conjunction with ISO/ASTM Practice 52628.
1.3 This practice describes the mercurimetric titration analysis as a standard readout procedure for the ECB dosimeter when used as a reference standard dosimetry system. Other readout methods (spectrophotometric, oscillometric) that are applicable when the ECB system is used as a routine dosimetry system are described in Annex A1 and Annex A2.
1.4 This practice applies only to gamma radiation,
X-radiation/bremsstrahlung, and high energy electrons.
1.5 This practice applies provided the following conditions are satisfied:
1.5.1 The absorbed dose range is between 10 Gy and 2 MGy for gamma radiation and between 10 Gy and 200 kGy for high current electron accelerators (1, 2) (Warning?the boiling point of ethanol chlorobenzene solutions is approximately 80 °C. Ampoules may explode if the temperature during irradiation exceeds the boiling point. This boiling point may be exceeded if an absorbed dose greater than 200 kGy is given in a short period of time.)
1.5.2 The absorbed-dose rate is less than 106 Gy s−1(2).
1.5.3 For radionuclide gamma-ray sources, the initial pho-ton energy is greater than 0.6 MeV. For bremsstrahlung photons, the energy of the electrons used to produce the bremsstrahlung photons is equal to or greater than 2 MeV. For electron beams, the initial electron energy is greater than 8 MeV (3).
NOTE 1 The same response relative to 60Co gamma radiation was obtained in high-power bremsstrahlung irradiation produced bya5MeV electron accelerator (4).
NOTE 2 The lower energy limits are appropriate for a cylindrical dosimeter ampoule of 12-mm diameter. Corrections for dose gradients across the ampoule may be required for electron beams. The ECB system may be used at lower energies by employing thinner (in the beam direction) dosimeters (see ICRU Report 35). The ECB system may also be used at X-ray energies as low as 120 kVp (5). However, in this range of photon energies the effect caused by the ampoule wall is considerable.
NOTE 3 The effects of size and shape of the dosimeter on the response of the dosimeter can adequately be taken into account by performing the appropriate calculations using cavity theory (6).
1.5.4 The irradiation temperature of the dosimeter is within the range from −30 °C to 80 °C.
NOTE 4 The temperature dependence of dosimeter response is known only in this range (see 5.2). For use outside this range, the dosimetry system should be calibrated for the required range of irradiation tempera-tures.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific warnings are given in 1.5.1, 9.2 and 10.2.
1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Practice for use of calorimetric dosimetry systems for electron beam dose measurements and dosimeter calibrations |
ISO/ASTM 51631 covers the preparation and use of semi-adiabatic calorimeters for measurement of absorbed doses in graphite, water or polystyrene when irradiated with electrons. The calorimeters are either transported by a conveyor past a scanned electron beam or are stationary in a broadened beam. It also covers the use of these calorimeters to calibrate dosimeter systems in electron beams intended for radiation processing applications.
This International Standard applies to electron beams in the energy range from 4 MeV to 12 MeV.
The absorbed dose range depends on the absorbing material and the irradiation and measurement conditions. The minimum dose is approximately 100 Gy and maximum dose is approximately 50 kGy.
The averaged absorbed dose rate range shall generally be greater than 10 Gy·s-1 , but depends on the same conditions as above.
The temperature range for use of these calorimeters depends on the thermal resistance of the materials and on the calibration range of the temperature sensor.

Basic concepts of measurement, estimate of the measured value of a quantity, 'true' value, error and uncertainty are defined and discussed. Components of uncertainty are discussed and methods are given for evaluating and estimating their values. How these contribute to the standard uncertainty in the reported values of absorbed doses are considered and methods are given for calculating the combined standard uncertainty and an estimate of overall (expanded) uncertainty. The methodology for evaluating components of uncertainty follows ISO procedures. The traditional concepts of precision and bias are not used. Examples are given in five annexes.
This International Standard assumes a working knowledge of statistics and several statistical texts are included in the references.

Guide for dosimetry in radiation research on food and agricultural products |
ISO/ASTM 15900 covers the minimum requirements for dosimetry and absorbed-dose validation needed to conduct research on the irradiation of food and agricultural products. Such research includes establishment of the quantitative relationship between the absorbed dose and the relevant effects in these products. This International Standard also describes the overall need for dosimetry in such research, and in the reporting of results.
ISO/ASTM 15900 is intended for use by research scientists in the food and agricultural communities and not just scientists conducting irradiation research. It therefore includes more tutorial information than most other ASTM and ISO/ASTM dosimetry standards for radiation processing.
It is in no way intended to limit the flexibility of the experimenter in the experimental design. However, the radiation source and experimental set-up should be chosen such that the results of the experiment will be beneficial and understandable to other scientists, regulatory agencies, and the food and agricultural communities. This International Standard covers research conducted using the following types of ionizing radiation: gamma rays, bremsstrahlung X-rays and electron beams but does not include other aspects of radiation processing research, such as planning of the experimental design.

Guide for dosimetry for irradiation of insects for sterile release programs |
ISO/ASTM 51940 outlines dosimetric procedures to be followed for the radiation sterilization of live insects for use in pest management programmes. The primary use of irradiated, reproductively sterile insects is in the Sterile Insect Technique, where large numbers of sterile insects are released into the field to mate with and thus control pest populations of the same species. A secondary use of irradiated insects is as benign hosts for rearing insect parasitoids. If followed, the procedures outlined in this International Standard will help to ensure that insects processed with ionizing radiation from gamma, electron or X-ray sources receive absorbed doses within a predetermined range.
ISO/ASTM 51940 covers dosimetry in the irradiation of insects for these types of irradiators: self-contained dry-storage 137Cs or 60Co irradiators, larger-scale gamma irradiators and electron accelerators. The absorbed dose for insect sterilization is typically within the range of 20 Gy to 600 Gy.
This International Standard specifically refers, throughout the text, to reproductive sterilization of insects. It is equally applicable to radiation sterilization of invertebrates from other taxa (for example, Acarina, Gastropoda) and to irradiation of live insects or other invertebrates for other purposes (e.g., inducing mutations), presuming the absorbed dose is within the range specified above.
It also covers the use of radiation-sensitive indicators for the visual and qualitative indication that the insects have been irradiated.

Practice for use of thermoluminescence-dosimetry (TLD) systems for radiation processing |
ISO/ASTM 51956 covers procedures for the use of thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs) utilized as routine dosimeters to determine the absorbed dose in a material irradiated by ionizing radiation. Examples of materials useful as TLDs include LiF, CaF 2, CaSO4, Li2B4O7 and Al2O3.
Although some elements of the procedures have broader application, the specific area of concern is radiation processing of materials such as blood products, food and insects for sterile release programmes. This practice is applicable to the measurement of absorbed dose in materials irradiated by gamma rays, X rays and electrons. Source energies covered are from 0,1 MeV to 50 MeV for photons and electrons. The range of absorbed dose covered is approximately from 1 Gy to 105 Gy (10 2 rad to 107 rad), and the range of absorbed dose rates is approximately from 10-2 Gy s-1 to 1010 Gy s-1 (1 rad s-1 to 1012 rad s-1). Absorbed dose and absorbed dose-rate measurements in materials subjected to neutron irradiation are not covered in this practice.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

General principles for sampling airborne radioactive materials |
Sets forth the principles for collecting representative samples and prescribes acceptable methods and materials for gas and particle sampling (collection of the samples, and not their measurement), limited to sampling in installations where work with radioactive materials is conducted, including sampling effluent gases prior to, or at, the point of release to the atmosphere, and with the primary emphasis on the need to protect the radiation worker. Does not consider application of various collectors to specific problems.

Sampling airborne radioactive materials from the stacks and ducts of nuclear facilities |
ISO 2889:2010 sets forth performance-based criteria and recommendations for the design and use of systems for sampling of airborne radioactive materials in the effluent air from the ducts and stacks of nuclear facilities.
The requirements and recommendations of ISO 2889:2010 are aimed at sampling that is conducted for regulatory compliance and system control. If existing air-sampling systems are not designed to the performance requirements and recommendations of ISO 2889:2010, an evaluation of the performance of the system is advised. If deficiencies are discovered, a determination of whether or not a retrofit is needed and practicable is recommended.
It can be impossible to meet the requirements of ISO 2889:2010 in all conditions with a sampling system designed for normal operations only. Under off-normal conditions, the criteria or recommendations of ISO 2889:2010 still apply; but for accident conditions, special or separate accident air sampling systems can be necessary.

Radiological protection — Sealed radioactive sources — General requirements and classification |
ISO 2919:2012 establishes a classification system for sealed radioactive sources that is based on test performance and specifies general requirements, performance tests, production tests, marking and certification. It provides a set of tests by which manufacturers of sealed radioactive sources can evaluate the safety of their products in use and users of such sources can select types which are suitable for the required application, especially where protection against the release of radioactive material, with consequent exposure to ionizing radiation, is concerned. ISO 2919:2012 can also serve as guidance to regulating authorities.
The tests fall into several groups, including, for example, exposure to abnormally high and low temperatures and a variety of mechanical tests. Each test can be applied in several degrees of severity. The criterion of pass or fail depends on leakage of the contents of the sealed radioactive source.
Although ISO 2919:2012 classifies sealed sources by a variety of tests, it does not imply that a sealed source will maintain its integrity if used continuously at the rated classification. For example, a sealed source tested for 1 h at 600 °C might, or might not, maintain its integrity if used continuously at 600 °C.
A list of the main typical applications of sealed radioactive sources, with a suggested test schedule for each application, is given in Table 3. The tests constitute minimum requirements corresponding to the applications in the broadest sense. Factors to be considered for applications in especially severe conditions are listed in 4.2.
ISO 2919:2012 makes no attempt to classify the design of sources, their method of construction or their calibration in terms of the radiation emitted. Radioactive materials inside a nuclear reactor, including sealed sources and fuel elements, are not covered by ISO 2919:2012.
