Abstract: For the radionuclide monitoring items of effluents from nuclear power plant, this paper compared and analyzed the IAEA general requirements, the routine monitoring items of radionuclide at China’s nuclear power plant and the experimental research results of low-level radionuclide in effluent. The necessary items and recommended items for the radionuclide monitoring of effluents from nuclear power plant were summarized then, which can provide references for the radioactivity monitoring activities of nuclear power plant effluent and the supervisions of regulatory departments.
