SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF REVISIONS TO NUREG-1507, MINIMUM DETECTABLE CONCENTRATIONS WITH TYPICAL RADIATION SURVEY INSTRUMENTS FOR VARIOUS CONTAMINANTS AND FIELD CONDITIONS DURING DECOMMISSIONING Discussion The Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) requests review and comments on the enclosed revision to NUREG-1507, Minimum Detectable Concentrations with Typical Radiation Survey Instruments for Various Contaminants and Field Conditions during Decommissioning. Upon resolution of any comments, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will publish NUREG-1507, Revision 1.
This revision seeks to address the usage of radiological survey technologies and methodologies that have come into practice since the original document was published in 1998. For example, CONTACT: John P. Clements, NMSS/DUWP 301-415-5878
R. Powell 2 additional survey instrumentation and data capture tools have become more commonly used by licensees, including global positioning system (GPS) and geographic information system (GIS) technologies. The NRC has also recognized lessons learned opportunities related to detection efficiency calculations, background interferences, signal degradation, and other topics associated with radiation survey instrumentation.
Please provide your comments by October 17, 2018, to John Clements at 301-415-5878 or via email to john.clements@nrc.gov.
