<p>ISO 2889:2010 sets forth performance-based criteria and recommendations for the design and use of systems for sampling of airborne radioactive materials in the effluent air from the ducts and stacks of nuclear facilities.</p>
<p>The requirements and recommendations of ISO 2889:2010 are aimed at sampling that is conducted for regulatory compliance and system control. If existing air-sampling systems are not designed to the performance requirements and recommendations of ISO 2889:2010, an evaluation of the performance of the system is advised. If deficiencies are discovered, a determination of whether or not a retrofit is needed and practicable is recommended.</p>
<p>It can be impossible to meet the requirements of ISO 2889:2010 in all conditions with a sampling system designed for normal operations only. Under off-normal conditions, the criteria or recommendations of ISO 2889:2010 still apply; but for accident conditions, special or separate accident air sampling systems can be necessary.</p>
