Guide of Good Practices for Occupational Radiological Protection in Plutonium Facilities

facilities. Equipment and analytical techniques for detection and measurement of

plutonium in environmental sample media should have sufficient sensitivity to measure

levels at or below those corresponding to decision criteria. Whereas larger sample

sizes, chemical processing, or longer counting times may be used to reduce the limit of

detection for routine environmental surveillance, time constraints may dictate that more

sensitive techniques be available to meet the information needs of emergency response.
