French term

conventionnel plus qu'opérationnel

French to English Tech/Engineering Nuclear Eng/Sci radiation scanning equipment
From a description of a radiation monitoring portal:

Il n’y a pas de certitude logique que l’identification dynamique tel que définit par l’ANSI N42-48 suffise, à résoudre les cas opérationnels qui peuvent se présenter d’autant plus que les scénarios de masquages prévus par la norme sont conventionnels plus qu’opérationnels.

... more of a custom than practice

a matter of convention rather than reality

Like doing your driving test; you're not armed to face the real hazards of driving (was talking to a BSM instructor just last night!).

theoretical rather than practical

As we all know people who write handbooks don't often do the practical work
