REMP Shoreline Sediment Sampling

[Thomas M Lashley <lashleyt@dteenergy.com>]

Radsafers;

This post is for power reactor individuals who have a working knowledge of
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Programs (REMP).  I have two questions
concerning the collection of shoreline sediment samples.

1)  Where do you take a shoreline sample.  Slightly in the water, where the
water and land meet, or slightly onto the shore?

2)  What type of equipment do you use to take the sample (shovel, dredge,
etc...)?

Since this is not a subject that would interest all Radsafers, please send
all replies directly to me at:
