Standard Practice for Preparation of Loose Radiological/Surrogate Contamination on Nonporous Test Coupon Surfaces for Evaluation of Decontamination Techniques

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This practice provides a protocol to compare different decontamination technologies with a standard contamination mechanism and analysis of subsequent decontamination factors/efficiencies.

5.2 The use of this practice provides for the preparation of test coupons with a known amount of loose radiological or surrogate contaminant on the surface.

5.3 A standard test coupon is described and a list of potential equipment, contaminants, and contaminating solutions is provided within the procedure.

5.4 This practice describes a contamination simulation process that meets the requirements of testing performed (previously) by the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the removal of loose contamination.
