Survey Frequencies of Gloveboxes

[Robert_A_Jones@RL.gov]

Radsafers,

I am looking for a Technical Basis Document (somewhere in the world)
that recommends survey frequencies of Gloveboxes and Gloves.  The type
of surveys I am looking for are contamination spread surveillance
(alpha), and dose rates.  For contamination, I basically need to know
how often to survey bags, ports, and gloves.  A probability of failure
for gloves document would be great, especially if no survey frequency
document is found.

For dose rates, I need methods of performing extremity dose rates with a
portable instrument (I am willing to do hand phantoms, but would rather
not).  I have a few ideas, but want to probe the rest of the profession
for more ideas.  With the method defined, we can derive the frequency
based on probability of change (If it does not already exist).

If I get requests, I would be glad to share results.
