RE: Survey Frequencies of Gloveboxes

["Pierson, Richard" <richard.pierson@rfets.gov>]

Mr. Jones,
The new DOE-STD-1128-98 provides limited guidance in Section 4.3 for G/B
contamination surveys and only discusses the use of an arm phantom with a
few tables of information for two extremity exposure examples.
Possibly a search into the library at LANL?
