An overview on the national radiation monitoring network of the A.R.E. -general description, installation, calibration and operation of the first phase

Abstract

Due to the far-reaching consequences of the Chernobyl accident, the IAEA formally approved and adopted a convention on the assistance in the case a nuclear accident and another convention on the early notification in case of a nuclear accident. Along the same line, many countries made provisions to enable the measurement of the environmental radiation field and radioactivity in air, water, earth... etc. In Egypt, the environmental radioactivity monitoring program involved the establishment of {beta}- and gamma-field and radioactivity monitoring system consisting of stations housing the appropriate sensors distributed in sites carefully chosen all over the country and connected to a central station, in the network directorate, used for data processing and display of In the present work, a general description of the first phase of the environmental radioactivity monitoring system is given together with the main problems encountered during its establishment. 18 figs., 6 tabs.
