CONTAINED IN VOL. 12.02, 2018 Defines the concept and use of helium accumulation for neutron fluence dosimetry for reactor vessel surveillance.

1.1This test method describes the concept and use of helium accumulation for neutron fluence dosimetry for reactor vessel surveillance. Although this test method is directed toward applications in vessel surveillance, the concepts and techniques are equally applicable to the general field of neutron dosimetry. The various applications of this test method for reactor vessel surveillance are as follows:

1.1.1Helium accumulation fluence monitor (HAFM) capsules,

1.1.2Unencapsulated, or cadmium or gadolinium covered, radiometric monitors (RM) and HAFM wires for helium analysis,

1.1.3Charpy test block samples for helium accumulation, and

1.1.4Reactor vessel (RV) wall samples for helium accumulation.

1.2This 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 appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.3This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
