Friends,
Do you look for >100 ncpm on the inside of clothing before classifying a
clothing PCE as Level 1? Been recommended to me that EPRI guidance
(excerpted below) is interpreted as suggesting that approach at some
benchmark plants.
The determination of the EPRI PCE level classification should be based on
a frisker reading of the
skin or the highest reading on clothing. For skin contaminations, a
frisker reading should be the
maximum reading with the frisker held approximately ½ inch away from the
affected skin. For
clothing, the frisker reading should be on the inside of the clothing with
the detector faced away
from the skin.
