Abstract
Process for carrying out an inspection or monitoring round of a nuclear site (5) consisting of recording in a central computer (22) connected to a radiofrequency transmitter/receiver or transceiver (24) a combination or sequence of different collection or reading points (12) grouping sensors (10) constituting the round to be performed. This sequence is copied again into a memory of a portable microcomputer (26) carried by the watchman during the round and connected to a radiofrequency transceiver (28). Each connection point (12) is validated and this validation is transmitted to the central computer (22). The sensors are checked and any abnormal condition is indicated to the central computer (22). All the checks carried out are recorded in the portable microcomputer (26) and copied again at the end of the round into a central computer (22) in such a way that they can be processed.
