scope:
Supplements IEC 61559 to include discharge, environmental, accident, and post-accident monitoring functions that are not within the scope of IEC 61559. It applies to centralized systems having a direct role in the achievement or maintenance of radiation protection in facilities other than nuclear power plants. These systems perform functions such as: - radiation monitoring of plant discharges; - interlock of control functions to prevent or to mitigate accidental release of radioactive material; - radiation and environmental monitoring functions to support monitoring of and response to accidents; - provide information to process control or safety systems for use in control or interlock functions.
