American National Standard: criticality accident alarm system
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5595400
This standard is applicable to all operations with plutonium, /sup 233/U, uranium enriched in /sup 235/U, and other fissionable materials in which inadvertent criticality may occur and cause the exposure of personnel to unacceptable amounts of radiation. This standard does not require separate additional instrumentation when the operating instrumentation of facilities, such as nuclear reactors or critical experiments, meets the requirements of this standard. This standard is directed principally toward gamma-radiation rate-sensing systems. Analogous considerations are applicable to integrating systems and to those detecting neutrons.
