Equipment waste surfaces shall be decont$minated to a smearable level 5.
of no more than 150,000 dpm/100 cm2 prior to fixation or until successive decontamination cleaning operations do not reduce the smear-able contamination levels by more than ten percent. After fixation, l
equipment waste surfaces shall have a smearable level of contamination of no greater than 10,000 dpm/100 cm2 Outer surfaces shall have a smearable level of contamination of no greater than 20 dpm/100 cm2, Prior to fixing of Ontamination, large equipment waste shall be inspected to insure that:
(a) all sharp or protruding objec'.s have been removed or blunted, and (b) pipe caps, gasketed blind f'.anges, covers, etc., have been installed wherever possible.
