Dans un programme pilote mené avec une municipalité, la CCSN [Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire] a conclu une entente à l’égard de la manutention de chargements de déchets qui déclenchaient les alarmes de portique de détection des rayonnements. La municipalité avait éprouvé des difficultés avec des chargements rejetés à la frontière canado-américaine et, par conséquent, avait installé des portiques de détection des rayonnements pour effectuer une vérification préliminaire à certains de ses points de collecte. 4, record 1, French, - portique%20de%20d%C3%A9tection%20des%20rayonnements
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le terme «portique de détection des radiations» est impropre car les termes «radiation» et «rayonnement» sont distincts, la radiation étant l'action d’émettre le rayonnement. 3, record 1, French, - portique%20de%20d%C3%A9tection%20des%20rayonnements
