Removable contamination definition
Removable contamination means the amount of radioactive material which would be removed by wiping a surface with an absorbent material (e.g. filter paper) using moderate pressure. The RSO may designate higher limits for a Type D laboratory or lower limits for certain nuclides.
Removable contamination means contamination that can be removed from the sealed source or from the surfaces of the device in which the sealed source is mounted or stored, where radioactive contamination is expected to accumulate; and
