“…As noted previously, the STANDARD value of the time required for surveying potentially contaminated areas (keyword SURVEY) is 10 days, which is less, probably considerably less, than such an activity would be expected to take in reality (Chanin and Murfin, 1996). However, in view of the uncertainty in estimating this parameter value, the short 10-day value has been used because it is radiologically conservative; that is, it minimizes time for radioactive decay and thereby maximizes exposure from any short-lived radionuclides at all subsequent times.…”

“…This value applies to the sum of deposited activity over all radionuclides of a multi-radionuclide material. Although never officially adopted by the EPA or superseded by another standard, this value has become a de facto standard (Chanin and Murfin, 1996). This is a controversial issue at present, and analysts who can justify use of more realistic values are urged to do so.…”

“…For this study, the 0.2 pCi/m2 deposition contour is used as the defining boundary for contaminated area. While it is expected that the actual screening criteria would be developed on a case-by-case basis, 0.2 pCi/m2 is a common default value used in assessing environmental consequences [6].…”

“…These differences are significant, particularly when viewed in terms of added clean-up costs. Depending on land usage, every 100 km2 in contaminated area translates to anywhere from 7 to 40 billion dollars in environmental remediation costs [6]. …”
