Re: facility decommissioning question
To help in this subject I would like to recommend the following documents:
a) Clearance of the materials resulting from the use of radionuclides in
medicine, industry and research, IAEA TECDOC 1000, February 1998
The IAEA generally does not maintain stocks of the TECDOC series, I have de
TECDOC not in the electronic format, however it will be possible to get it
in the form of microfiche or electronic format: Try IAEA/INIS at
chouse@iaea.org
b) Decontamination Techniques Used in Decommissioning Activities
Report by the NEA Task Group on Decontamination, NEA/OECD 1999
The above document b) I have in pdf format, to those interested
please send me a personal e-mail to receive a copy

Emil,
I think you have offered an incorrect answer.
It seems from ccurrent practice that the correct answer is to clean up just
enough to meet regulations. Then when the "rad protectionists," ICRP/NRPB
(as with NCRP/EPA/NRC/DOE in the US) change regulations again, many more
thousands of very profitable hours and millions of $ (EUs) can keep the
funds for rad protection flowing, including many good meetings and
conferences in nice locations, for more generations!!
So, study the paperwork and plan accordingly! (Perhaps it would also be
consistent with current policy to spread the H3 and C14 on the site at below
current limits to complete this project and to provide even more useless
work for "rad protection" in the future?)
Regards, Jim
