Reviewing settings for Nuclear Gauges as an Equipment Type

First let's check the settings for your Equipment Types to ensure we are ready to use the nuclear gauge log.

Click on the Settings gear icon in the top right corner, available from any page.

Click "Equipment Types"

Search for 'nuclear' using the search box

Click "Search" to pull up results

Looks like we already have a category set up for nuclear gauges. Click on the link.

**Ensure this "Nuclear Gauge" checkbox has a check in it!** Make sure also to click Save on the bottom of this screen if you have made any changes on this screen.

Creating 'Nuclear Gauges' as an Equipment Type if it is not set up already

If you search for nuclear and nothing comes up in the results, click Create New

Select a Category -- in this example we'll choose Field Equipment

Enter a name -- in this example we'll call it Nuclear Gauge

**Important! Make sure that this checkbox has a check in it!** This will associate this category with the Nuclear Gauges Log.

Click "Create"

Working with nuclear gauges in your Equipment inventory

You now have the option to associate the serial number from a standard block with your nuclear gauge, for completeness of your logging.

Click "Equipment" in the left navigation bar

Click "Search", under Equipment

Select Field Equipment from the Category dropdown

Select Nuclear Gauge from the Type dropdown

Click "Search"

Let's look at a specific gauge, in this example it is called "T-1"

A new field is available which allows you to track the Serial Number of the Standard Block associated with this nuclear gauge. Enter the number here

Click "Save" after entering the block serial number

Click "Back To List" to continue entering standard block serial numbers to each of your gauges following the same process

Logging nuclear gauge counts

Now that we have ensured the equipment is set up, let's look at how to log daily MS and DS counts.

Click "Nuclear Gauges Log", under Equipment in the left navigation bar

Select the gauge you are taking a count with

In this example, we are using gauge T-1

Click "Create New" to add a new count record

This is the log screen. Start with the date and time information by clicking on the Recorded On field. It will capture the current date and time, or you can type it in.

Enter the length of the test your gauge runs in minutes

Enter the DS count

Enter the MS count

The Running Log screen is designed to be simple to enter data, and provide an at-a-glance view of the current count results and prior 4 tests.

**Notes:** The DS Average and MS Average fields are an average of the prior 4 tests, rounded to the nearest whole number. The DS Average Min and Average Max are the average of the prior 4 counts plus or minus 1%. The MS Average Min and Average Max are the average of the prior 4 counts plus or minus 2%. The "Count Within Range" fields will display a Yes or No based on the average, min and max values in comparison to the DS and MS Counts entered. You can see, but not edit, the previous DS and MS Counts on this screen.

Click "Save"

Click "Close"

Back on the Log screen, you can edit or delete only the most recent test. The restriction is to ensure data integrity.

If you need to change the entered data on the most recent record, click on the record's link

Edit whatever you might need to change, then click Save

Click "Close"

Logging Errors

If count is not within range, an Errors section will appear to allow you to document the issue.

You can see here that the result is showing "No" for being within the range.

The "Errors" section appears to allow you space to document the issue. Note: RSO stands for Radiation Safety Officer
