Instruments for measuring radiation or radioactivity in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1501 normally include the following: i. Portable low- and high-range ion chamber rate meters (see Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.97 for ranges). ii. Portable Geiger-Mueller counters. iii. Portable alpha scintillation or proportional counter rate meters. iv. Portable neutron dose equivalent rate meters. v. Fixed and portable air samplers for use with particulate filters and iodine collection devices (such as charcoal cartridges or equivalent filters) and airborne radioactivity monitors. vi. High-range instruments, in accordance with Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.97. vii. Fixed area monitors with local and remote readouts and alarm functions. viii.

Self-reading low and intermediate pocket dosimeters, including audible alarm dosimeters (for early evaluation of individual doses). Performance and other requirements conform to Regulatory Guides 8.4 and 8.28 or to appropriate proposed alternatives. iii. Remote and local reading alarm dosimeters (coupled with direct or electronic surveillance equipment) for monitoring workers in high- dose/high-dose-rate environments. iv. Personal dosimeters (e.g., film badges, thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD), ocularly stimulated dosimeters) of sufficient range and sensitivity that are processed and evaluated by a processor accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), as appropriate, in conformance with 10 CFR 20.1501(c). v.
