questions about back ground



Dear Sir:

1. What are the critirias of using twice or trice the back ground  to release 
a site or not during a survey. Would you refer to NRC Regulations or States 
regulations?

2. Several housings of HEPA  filters that are in usage of ten years using 
radioactive materials. Are there any protocols to open them?. What would 
hapen if these are not followed ?

3. Could you you rely on a survey taken without feild determination of the 
efficiency of the surveymeter?

4. Two Surveys are taken for the same site that differ from each other about 
500% Like 8000cpm and 50,000cpm. What would be the source of discrepancies?
