1、Designation:D592818aStandard Practice forScreening of Waste for Radioactivity1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5928;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses

2、 indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the screening for,and radiation above ambient background levels or user-definedcriteria,or both,in liquid,sludge,or solid waste materials.1

3、.2 This practice is intended to be a gross screening methodfor determining the presence or absence of radioactive mate-rials in liquid,sludge,or solid waste materials.It is notintended to replace more sophisticated quantitative analyticaltechniques,but to provide a method for rapidly screeningsample
