PNL is set up to do FULL ANSI N42.17 A and C testing!

Contact Michelle Johnson    ML_Johnson@PNL.gov

Also

ORNL is set up to do most ANSI testing - but I don't know if they do outside 
work.

And ... Ludlum can do limited testing.

The DOE Health Physics Instrument Committee has been working to have more 
instruments available from the manufacturer already tested and certified.

At this point we do have some HPIC certified instruments which come already 
tested.  I don't believe this includes any area monitors.  HPIC is a new 
committee and has been concentrating on portable instruments since they tend 
to see the roughest use.
