This manual is a compilation of the chemical and physical procedures used at the Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory--Las Vegas for determining radionuclides in environmental surveillance samples. It supersedes the Handbook of Radiochemical Analytical methods published as EPA-680/4-75-001 in February 1975. It should be noted that the procedures in the current compilation are intended for use in processing relatively large numbers of samples in the shortest possible time for environmental radiological surveillance and, therefore, in some cases represent a compromise between precise analytical determination and adequate determination for surveillance purposes.
