Description

Radiological surveys are performed by making in situ
measurements of radiation and radioactivity and by collecting media
samples for subsequent radiological analyses by a measurement
system in the field or laboratory. This standard addresses the
specific measurement and sampling tasks that compose a radiological
survey, such as air sampling, surface activity measurements, dose
and exposure rate measurements. The documentation of surveys
includes the use of consistent nomenclature and units for records
and a standardized methodology for calculating minimum detectable
concentration levels. The standard is not intended to replace
existing requirements for design or strategies for performing
specific radiological surveys, e.g., final status or compliance
demonstration surveys for remediated sites, and operational surveys
to demonstrate radiological control. This standard identifies the
survey tasks used in most radiological surveys, and provides
details on how these survey tasks are performed and documented. The
information provided in this standard is intended to be used in the
development of procedures for the various radiological survey
programs. This standard is not intended for external/internal
dosimetry programs nor to replace requirements already established
for environmental monitoring surveys or radioactivity
determinations.
