ISO 21238:2007 Nuclear energy - Nuclear fuel technology - Scaling factor method to determine the radioactivity of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste packages generated at nuclear power plants
International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
Latest
ISO 21238:2007
Scope
This International Standard gives guidelines for the common basic methodology of empirically determining
scaling factors to evaluate the radioactivity of difficult-to-measure nuclides in low- and intermediate-level
radioactive waste packages.
This International Standard gives common guidelines for the scaling factors used in the characterization of
contaminated wastes produced in nuclear power plants with water-cooled reactor. This International Standard
is also relevant to other reactor types, such as gas-cooled reactors. Methodologies for determining scaling
factors based on theoretical considerations (i.e. not based on experimental measurement) are not covered by this International Standard.
