Langner, Jr, G H

One of the remedial-action measurement needs is the estimation of average indoor radon-daughter concentration (RDC). One method for accomplishing such estimations in support of DOE remedial action programs is the Radon Progeny Integrating Sampling Unit (RPISU) method. This procedure manual describes how to set up and operate a system for obtaining RPISU measurements, and how to derive average RDC estimates from those measurements. The accuracy of the RPISU measurements is verified through use of appropriate quality-assurance and -control procedures as described in this manual. These include periodic calibrations, sensitivity checks, and annual cross-comparisons (with the Technical Measurements Center, for example), as well as adequate documentation of all measurements, sensitivity checks, calibrations, and intercomparisons. 19 refs., 18 figs., 1 tab.
