Debris Removal and Scanning
At one of my sites the building structure is
falling down. I'm tasked with developing a
scanning method to see if the material is
contaminated or clean. The facility is
contaminated with enhanced (concentrated)
NORM (Ra, Th, U). The method I plan on using
is taking 20 swipes of the debris pile. Also I
was going to have the contractor scan the pile
with an alpha probe. Unfortunately, I'm not sure
what cutoff level to use for the swipes. I
remember someone showed me a chart the
NRC uses for removable contamination. Does
anyone remember where this chart (I think it is
in a NUREG) is or what the numbers are?
