 is the measurement of external dose rates due to sources in the environment or of radionuclide concentrations in environmental media.

Source monitoring

Source monitoring is the measurement of activity in radioactive material being released to the environment or of external dose rates due to sources within a facility or activity.

The methodological and technical details of the design and operation of source and environmental radiation monitoring programmes and systems for different radionuclides, environmental media and types of facility are given in IAEA Safety Standards Series No. RS–G-1.8 and in IAEA Safety Reports Series No. 64 .
