Asbestos Contaminated with Rad Materials

[George Xu <xug2@rpi.edu>]

Good afternoon, Radsafers,

I would like to hear your experience in dealing with
asbestos-containing-materials (ACMs)contaminated with rad. sources such as
U-235, Co-60, or Cs-137 in as deep as 1-2 inch. What detection methods are
used for characterizing both asbestos and the embedded rad. sources. I am
interested in DOE practice, but any experience would be helpful.  Thanks in
advance!!

George
