Study Notes
- A Tools and Equipment Monitor (TEM) is a large area plastic scintillator detector that surrounds all sides.
- The TEM is sensitive to gamma radiation and can detect 5000 dpm of radioactivity.
- The TEM requires site-based requirements such as background radiation levels and instrument efficiency.
- If the TEM does not alarm, then the item may be released. However, if a TEM is used to release the item, then a Unconditional Release Survey must be completed.
