3 MAINTENANCE
3.1 General notes
3.1.1 Maintenance of the gamma-spectrometer shall be performed with the purpose of ensuring
operability during all life time. Types and terms of maintenance are shown on the section 3.3.
3.1.2 Performance testing is carried out during annual calibration of the gamma-spectrometer in
accordance with the procedure described in the section 4.
3.1.3 Safety measures indicated in the section 3.2 should be followed during maintenance of
the gamma-spectrometer.
3.2 Safety precautions
3.2.1 All work associated with the operation must be performed in accordance with instructions
for safety and radiation safety applicable in the enterprise.
3.2.2 Maintenance of the gamma-spectrometer is carried out by persons:
-
trained in operation of radiometric and spectrometric instrumentation;
-
having permission for work with high voltage supplies;
-
having permission for work with sources of ionizing radiation.
3.2.3 When performing work one should pay special attention to condition of the power cord
and power switch – dangerous voltages can be present in that locations.
3.3 Maintenance routine
Maintenance is divided into routine and periodic.
3.3.1 Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance is carried out during regular operation of the gamma-spectrometer; it
includes daily dust removal from outer surfaces and measuring gamma-radiation background. Upon
increasing of the gamma-radiation background perform decontamination of outer surfaces of the
detector unit and inner surfaces of the lead shielding. It is necessary to wash measurement vessels
(Marinelli beakers and Petri dishes) with suds after each measurement.
It is necessary to inspect connecting cables, switches and connectors, wipe leads of plugs and
sockets with ethyl alcohol (total ethyl alcohol consumption - 150 g).
3.3.2 Periodic maintenance
Periodic maintenance includes check of the technical condition of the gamma-spectrometer; it
shall be performed on a regular basis, at least once a month. The check is performed by means of
measurement of a count rate from calibration sources using specified mode of operation of the
spectrometer.
