Long Meadow Road P O Box 810 Tuxedo New York 10987

Dear Mr. Truskowski:

Please find enclosed the analytical procedures which you requested.

in the case of iron-55, the procedure PRO-032-31 Indicates that it applies to air particulate filters, but we also use this procedure for soils.

For strontium 90, we enclose both the classical method and the fast method.

For tritium, procedure 57 describes withdrawing water from the soil while procedure 35 describes the analysis of the water.

For uranium, procedures are enclosed for both the alpha spectral and the ganuna spectral methods.

Please treat these procedures as proprietary materials of Teledyne isotopes.

Sincer y,

/
