IEEE PN42.43

New IEEE Standard - Superseded - Draft.
The operational and performance requirements for mobile radiation monitors (MRMs) used in homeland security applications are specified in this standard. MRMs may be operated while in motion or while in a fixed location.

This standard specifies the basic performance requirements for mobile radiation-detection systems used in homeland security applications. These systems are used to detect gamma radiation and may include neutron detection and/or the identification of gamma-ray emitting radionuclides. They are typically placed in vehicles where they are used either while moving or when stationary. This standard establishes the radiological performance and testing requirements and those requirements associated with the expected electrical, mechanical, and environmental conditions while in use.
