Abstract
An exhaust monitoring method for evaluating and monitoring a radioactive material concentration in exhaust by sampling the exhaust from radioactive materials handling facilities, collecting dust contained in the exhaust with an exhaust filter medium for monitoring, and performing the radioactivity measurement of the exhaust filter medium. The method is characterized in that a HEPA filter is disposed in an exhaust duct, the exhaust is sampled from the exhaust duct immediately after being filtered by the HEPA filter, and an exhaust sampling path is provided such that the sampled exhaust reaches the exhaust filter medium for monitoring within 20 seconds after passing through the HEPA filter, whereby a background for the radioactivity measurement is reduced. By performing the nuclide analysis of the exhaust filter medium, the abnormal/normal state of an exhaust path from the HEPA filter to the exhaust filter medium can be judged based on the presence/absence of the progenies of radon.
