Abstract:
The performance requirements for spectroscopy-based portal monitors are described in this standard. The requirements stated are based on portal monitors used in support of efforts associated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Scope:
This standard specifies the operational and performance requirements for spectroscopy-based portal monitors (SRPMs) used in homeland security applications. SRPMs have the ability to detect radioactivity and identify radionuclides that may be present in or on persons, vehicles, or containers through the use of gamma spectroscopy techniques. Operational requirements established by this standard include radiation detection and radionuclide identification, and those requirements associated with the expected electrical, mechanical, and environmental conditions when a SRPM is deployed. The test methods described in this standard provide a means to ensure that a SR...
Purpose:
The purpose of this standard is to specify the performance criteria and test methods for SRPMs used for homeland security. Testing is conducted under a set of conditions to determine if an SRPM meets the requirements of this standard. Special applications, which could include an SRPM’s operation under weather conditions not addressed by this standard, shall require additional testing. Detection needs not addressed by this standard shall also require additional testing, e.g., estimation of the background depression due to vehicle presence, masking, or shielding configurations. Obtaining operating performance that meets or exceeds the specifications stated in ...
