SONGS uses the SAC-4 and BC-4 for alpha and beta smear counting, with a 25,000 CPM limit.

Above the limit use ASP-1 with AC-3-7 for alpha, and ASP-1 with frisker/RO-2 for beta.

Duke Energy request to following information:
 
 
What do you use to count smears for alpha/ beta activity?    Canberra iSolo,  Ludlum 3030P, other?
 
Do you have a limit on the activity (dpm) that can be counted using a smear counter?  
 
And if you have a limit on activity, what is the limit and how do you count smears above the activity limit (beta) for alpha?
