LLNL maintains equipment, capability, and operations to measure low energy photon emitting radionuclides potentially deposited inside of workers. Ongoing quality improvement includes the maintenance of detection systems capable of measuring radionuclides o f interest to the LLNL Health and Safety program. This document describes the technical equivalency evaluation of upgraded detectors for LLNL’s routine lung measurement program.
