skos:definition "1. The measurement of 'dose' or 'contamination' for reasons related to the <br/>
'assessment' or 'control' of 'exposure' to 'radiation' or 'radioactive substances', and the <br/>interpretation of the results. (From Ref. [1].)<br/>
‘Measurement’ is used somewhat loosely here. The ‘measurement’ of <i>dose<br/></i>often means the measurement of a 'dose equivalent quantity' as a proxy (i.e. <br/>substitute) for a 'dose quantity' that cannot be measured directly. Also, <br/>sampling may be involved as a preliminary step to measurement.<br/>'Monitoring' may be subdivided in two different ways: according to where the <br/>measurements are made, into 'individual monitoring', 'workplace monitoring', <br/>'source monitoring' and 'environmental monitoring'; and, according to the <br/>purpose of the 'monitoring', into 'routine monitoring', <i>task related monitoring<br/></i>and 'special monitoring'.<br/>
<i><b>area monitoring.</b></i> A form of 'workplace monitoring' in which an area is <br/>monitored by taking measurements at different points in that area.<br/>
As opposed to measurements by a static monitor.<br/>
<i><b>environmental monitoring.</b></i> The measurement of 'external dose' rates due <br/>to 'sources' in the environment or of radionuclide concentrations in <br/>environmental media.<br/>
Contrasted with 'source monitoring'.<br/>
<i><b>individual monitoring.</b></i> 'Monitoring' using measurements by equipment <br/>worn by individual 'workers', or measurements of quantities of <i>radioactive <br/>material</i> in or on their bodies.<br/>
Also called 'personal monitoring'. Usually contrasted with <i>workplace <br/>monitoring</i>.<br/>
<b>['personal monitoring'</b><b>]'.'</b> Synonymous with 'individual monitoring'.<br/>
This usage may be confusing and is discouraged in favour of <i>individual <br/>monitoring</i>.<br/>
<b>['personnel monitoring'</b><b>]'.'</b> A combination of 'individual monitoring' and <br/>'workplace monitoring'.<br/>
This usage may be confusing and is discouraged in favour of <i>individual <br/>monitoring </i>and/or' workplace monitoring', as appropriate.<br/>
<i><b>routine monitoring.</b></i> 'Monitoring' associated with continuing <i>operations<br/></i>and intended: (1) to demonstrate that working conditions, including the <br/>levels of 'individual dose', remain satisfactory; and (2) to meet regulatory <br/>'requirements'.<br/>
'Routine monitoring' can be 'individual monitoring' or 'workplace monitoring'.<br/>Contrasting terms: 'task related monitoring' and 'special monitoring'.<br/>
<i><b>source monitoring.</b></i> The measurement of 'activity' in <i>radioactive material<br/></i>being released to the environment or of 'external dose' rates due to <i>sources<br/></i>within a 'facility or activity'.<br/>
Contrasted with 'environmental monitoring'.<br/>
<i><b>special monitoring.</b></i> 'Monitoring' designed to investigate a specific <br/>situation in the workplace for which insufficient information is available <br/>to demonstrate adequate 'control', by providing detailed information to <br/>elucidate any problems and to define future 'procedures'.<br/>
'Special monitoring' would normally be undertaken at the 'commissioning' stage <br/>of new 'facilities', following major modifications either to 'facilities' or to <br/>'procedures', or when 'operations' are being carried out under abnormal <br/>circumstances, such as following an 'accident'.<br/>'Special monitoring' can be 'individual monitoring' or 'workplace monitoring'.<br/>Contrasting terms: 'routine monitoring' and 'task related monitoring'.<br/>
<i><b>task related monitoring.</b></i> 'Monitoring' in relation to a specific 'operation', to <br/>provide data to support immediate decisions on the management of the <br/>'operation'.<br/>
'Task related monitoring' can be 'individual monitoring' or <i>workplace <br/>monitoring</i>.<br/>Contrasting terms: 'routine monitoring' and 'special monitoring'.<br/>
<i><b>workplace monitoring.</b></i> 'Monitoring' using measurements made in the <br/>working environment.<br/>
Usually contrasted with 'individual monitoring'.<br/>
2. Continuous or periodic measurement of radiological or other <br/>
parameters or determination of the status of a 'structure,' 'system or component'. <br/>Sampling may be involved as a preliminary step to measurement.<br/>
Although the concept is not fundamentally different from definition (1), this <br/>definition is more suited to the types of 'monitoring' concerned primarily with <br/>'safety' (i.e. keeping 'sources' under 'control') rather than with 'protection' (i.e. <br/>controlling 'exposure'). This definition is particularly relevant to <i>monitoring<br/></i>the status of a 'nuclear installation' by tracking plant variables, or <i>monitoring<br/></i>the long term performance of a 'waste repository' by tracking variables such as <br/>water fluxes. These examples differ from definition (1) in that the routine <br/>measurements are themselves of no particular interest; the 'monitoring' is only <br/>intended to detect unexpected 'deviations' if they occur.<br/>
<i><b>condition monitoring.</b></i> Continuous or periodic tests, 'inspections', <br/>measurement or trending of the performance or physical characteristics <br/>of 'structures, systems and components' to indicate current or future <br/>performance and the potential for 'failure'.<br/>
'Condition monitoring' is usually conducted on a non-intrusive basis.<br/>" (en)
