Clean up criteria

[E.Antonio@ccmail.pnl.gov (Ernest J Antonio)]

     Fellow Radsafers:
     I am posting the following request for a colleague:
     
     I'm looking for information on the following and you may be able to 
     help.
     
     A site/location is cleaned up/remediated/restored.  Someone says
     we're done, it's clean.  What is the strategy/plan to demonstrate 
     compliance with cleanup criteria (i.e., how, specifically, do you 
     characterize/monitor the site to prove the site is clean?)  I need to 
     prepare a brief (3-5 page) description of specific examples from the 
     U. S. discussing successes/failures using hand held, insitu, or mobile 
     instruments, or the collecting of environmental samples.  This is for 
     rad only!!  Are you aware of any such examples?  Any help would be 
     appreciated.
     
     I will forward responses to the originator of the request.
