ASTM D 5928 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Screening of Waste for Radioactivity
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 10, 1996
Scope:
This test method covers the screening for α, β, and γ
radiation above ambient
background levels or user-defined criteria, or both, in liquid,
sludge, or solid waste materials.
This test method is intended to be a gross screening method for
determining the presence or absence
of radioactive materials in liquid, sludge, or solid waste materials.
It is not intended to replace
more sophisticated quantitative analytical techniques, but to provide
a method for rapidly
screening samples for radioactivity above ambient background levels or
user-defined criteria, or
both, for facilities prohibited from handling radioactive waste.
This test method may not be suitable for applications such as site
assessments and remediation
activities.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
