iii. Monitoring Techniques
When performing personnel
monitoring it is very important to keep
the detector (i.e., the probe) close to the
surface being monitored and to move
the detector slowly. If the detector is
not held close to the surface being
monitored, the alpha particles may not
reach the detector. If the detector is
moved too quickly across the surface,
the electronics in the instrument will
not have time to respond to indicate the
amount of radioactive contamination
