1、Designation: D 5928 96 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Test Method forScreening of Waste for Radioactivity1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5928; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revis

2、ion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the screening for a, b, and gradiation above ambient background levels or user-definedcriteria, or both

3、, in liquid, sludge, or solid waste materials.1.2 This test method is intended to be a gross screeningmethod for determining the presence or absence of radioactivematerials in liquid, sludge, or solid waste materials. It is notintended to replace more sophisticated quantitative analyticaltechniques,

4、 but to provide a method for rapidly screeningsamples for radioactivity above ambient background levels oruser-defined criteria, or both, for facilities prohibited fromhandling radioactive waste.1.3 This test method may not be suitable for applicationssuch as site assessments and remediation activit

5、ies.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine t

Terminology3.1 For terminology related to radioactive materials, seeTerminology C 859.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Asample is held within 6 mm of the

7、detector window ofa radiation survey meter, and the visible or audible reaction ofthe meter, or both, is noted. The user defines an application/project specific “negative” and “positive” result criteria. A“negative” test result indicates radiation levels are below theuser-established criteria; a “po

8、sitive” test result indicates theradiation levels are above the user-established criteria.5. Significance and Use5.1 Most facilities disposing or utilizing waste materials areprohibited from handling wastes that contain radioactive ma-terials. This test method provides the user a rapid method forscr

9、eening waste material samples in the field or laboratory forthe presence or absence of radioactivity at userestablishedcriteria. It is important to these facilities to be able to verifygenerator-supplied information that radioactive or mixedwastes have not been included in shipments of waste materia

10、ls.6. Interferences6.1 Needle deflections or audible clicks of the survey meter,or both, occur due to naturally occurring omni-directionalbackground radiation. This level of ambient background radia-tion should be periodically assessed. See Section 10.6.2 Possible sources of interference include pac

11、emakers,X-ray generating equipment, radium-based luminescent dials,polonium-based static eliminators, and smoke detectors con-taining a radioactive isotope sensing mechanism. Such inter-ferences can usually be traced to their source using the portableinstrument specified in this test method.6.3 A la

If suspectedto be present in the waste, another procedure should be usedthat is appropriate to their determination.6.6 Liquid samples, as well as moisture in sol

14、id samples, aregood attenuators of radiation and will hinder detection of manyradionuclides unless they emit high-energy gamma radiation.The possible inability to detect alpha particles and low-level1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D34 on WasteManagement and is the direc

17、 many cases, shouldnot be a serious shortcoming in this test method because theseemissions are often accompanied by higher energy gammaemissions.6.6.1 Moisture-laden Americium-241 bearing waste wouldbe a case where there is a high probability of non-detection dueto attenuation.6.7 Survey meter conta

If this occurs, the survey meter performance shall beconsidered unreliable and should be appropriately decontami-nated by qualified personnel, or disposed of in accordance withapplicable regulati

19、ons.6.8 The radiation monitor should be operated in accordancewith the manufacturers instructions.7. Apparatus7.1 Radiation Survey Meter, with a halogen-quenched un-compensated Geiger-Mueller tube with thin mica end-window.It is advisable to choose an instrument model that has aninternal counter (cp

20、m) or is capable of operating in a scalermode.NOTE 1The meter used in the development of this test method wasthe Monitor 4.3A number of other survey meters4are suitable for this testmethod. Through the end-window, this unit is capable of detecting andindicating alpha radiation (down to 2.5 MeV with

21、a typical detectionefficiency of 80 % at 3.6 MeV), beta radiation (down to 150 KeV with atypical 75 % detection efficiency), gamma radiation and X-rays (down to10 KeV), with the survey meter set on its lowest energy range of 0.1 mr/h.8. Reagents and Materials8.1 The check sources used in the develop

22、ment of this testmethod were manufactured by Oxford Instruments, Inc.5Othersuitable check sources are available from a number of suppli-ers.6The check sources used in the development of this testmethod are federally exempt and do not require licensing.Sources other than the following (that is, Cesiu

23、m 137) areappropriate for this test method. The sources, levels of activity,and half-lives used in the development of this test method areas follows:Source Type Activity Half-Life (t12 )Polonium 210 alpha 0.1 Ci 138.4 daysStrontium 90 beta 0.1 Ci 28.6yearsCobalt 60 gamma 1.0 Ci 5.3years8.2 Check sou

24、rces should be replaced at least every threehalf-lives.9. Sample9.1 Because stratification of liquid samples is possible,thoroughly mix the sample by shaking or stirring prior totesting. Strongly multiphasic samples should have each layertested separately. Solid samples should be thoroughly mixed by

25、a method appropriate to their size and physical characteristics.10. Calibration and Standardization10.1 Check the battery power source of the survey meterprior to use. If the battery check indicates that the batterycharge is not in the optimal power range, it must be replacedprior to use.10.2 Check

26、the survey meters performance at least dailyusing the a, b, and g check sources. This is done by observingthe survey meter response when held within 6 mm of eachcheck standard. At a minimum, check sources should be 2times the ambient background. The check sources listed in 9.1far exceed this require

27、ment.10.3 The survey meter should be factory-calibrated at leastyearly.10.4 Assess the level of ambient background radiationperiodically. This may be prior to each test, daily, weekly, ormonthly depending on user requirements.10.4.1 Set the survey meter to its X1 or most sensitivesetting and enable

28、the audible alarm, if unit is so equipped.10.4.2 Record the number of audible meter clicks over aperiod of 60 s (counts per minute). Repeat this procedure twomore times, and take the average of the three repetitions usingthe following formula:Average ambient background radiation5Measurement No.11 Me

29、asurement No.21 Measurement No.3310.5 Unexpectedly high readings for ambient background orstandard sources infers that the survey meter is contaminated.See the section on Interferences.10.6 The user must clearly define the criteria to be used forreporting “negative” or “positive” test results. These

30、 criteriamay be project- or application-specific. A common definingpoint used is “two to three times the ambient backgroundlevel.”11. Procedure11.1 Perform the necessary steps presented in Section 10.11.2 Allow the survey meter to stabilize for 10 to 15 s at itsX1 or lowest appropriate setting.11.3

31、Place the end-window of the survey meter within 6 mmof the sample. Depending on the physical characteristics of thesample container (for example, the container is such that thesample is 6 mm from the opening), it may be necessary towithdraw a representative portion of the sample to an alternatesampl

32、e container, watch glass, or other appropriate vessel toallow the end-window to be placed within 6 mm of the sample.Do not allow the survey meter to come in direct contact withthe sample. This may contaminate the meter and may damagethe end-window.11.4 Record the counts per minute for a period of 60

33、 s(counts per minute).11.5 If the counts per minute are above the user-definedcriteria, then the sample may contain radioactive material.NOTE 2The user should recognize the potential interferences men-tioned in Section 6.3Manufactured by SE International, Inc., Summertown, TN.4For example, Five Leve

35、ment Corp., Santa Fe, NM.D 5928 96 (2003)211.6 If radioactivity levels above the user-defined criteriaare observed, the background levels should be redetermined asdescribed in Section 10. The sample should then be retestedbeginning with 11.2.11.7 If radioactivity levels are confirmed to be above the

36、user-defined criteria, sample testing should be discontinued,and the appropriate health and safety professional or siteregulatory officer should be contacted for further instructions.11.8 If radioactivity levels are below the user-defined crite-ria, the test result may be recorded as not detected.12
