SAM Companion - Field Screening Equipment Document
Foreword
Following the events of September 11, 2001, EPA's mission was expanded to account for critical needs
related to homeland security. Presidential Directives identified EPA as the primary federal agency
responsible for the country's water supplies and for decontamination following a chemical, biological,
and/or radiological (CBR) attack. To provide scientific and technical support to help EPA meet this
expanded role, EPA's National Homeland Security Research Center (NHSRC) was established. The
NHSRC research program is focused on conducting research and delivering products that improve the
capability of the Agency to carry out its homeland security responsibilities.
One specific focus area of NHSRC's research is to support the Environmental Response Laboratory
Network (ERLN), a nationwide association of federal, state, local, and commercial environmental
laboratories, established by EPA. The ERLN can be deployed in response to a large-scale environmental
disaster by providing consistent analytical capabilities, capacities, and quality data in a systematic,
coordinated manner. Toward this end, NHSRC has worked with experts from across EPA and other
federal agencies to develop a compendium of analytical methods to be used in support of remediation
following national homeland security related incidents. For specific analytes that have been determined
to be of concern during a homeland security related event, analytical methods have been chosen to
measure levels of contamination in different environmental matrices. The results of these efforts have
been published in EPA's Standardized Analytical Methods for Environmental Restoration Following
Homeland Security Events (SAM), available at http://www.epa.gov/sam.
In identifying and selecting appropriate analytical methods to be used in such instances, a need became
apparent to provide information regarding the capabilities of field equipment that is currently in use and
could be applied for screening environmental samples and conditions prior to laboratory analysis. The
information in this document addresses this need, in part, by providing information regarding the
capabilities of field screening equipment that is currently in use, for detecting chemical and
radiochemical analytes listed in SAM. Updates will be provided as new information is developed
regarding field screening equipment and related capabilities.
NHSRC has made this publication available to assist in preparing for and recovering from disasters
involving chemical, radiochemical, and biological contamination; it specifically represents an important
next step in supporting the ERLN. We value your comments as we move toward the development of an
efficient process to manage environmental samples and move EPA one step closer to achieving its
homeland security mission and its overall mission of protecting human health and the environment while
supporting sustainable solutions.

Following Homeland Security Events (SAM)]
September 2010
1.0 Background
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Homeland Security Research Center
(NHSRC) worked with experts from across EPA and its sister agencies since 2003 to develop a
compendium of analytical methods to be used when responding to national homeland security
related incidents. Analytical methods have been selected for chemical, radiochemical, pathogen,
and biotoxin analytes of concern for the types of environmental sample matrices that are
anticipated in such incidents. The results of these efforts have been published in several
revisions of EPA's Standard Analytical Methods for Environmental Restoration Following
Homeland Security Events (SAM), available at http://www.epa.gov/sam. NHSRC periodically
reviews and updates the SAM document to address the needs of homeland security, reflect
improvements in analytical methods and new technologies, and incorporate changes in target
analytes.
During development of SAM, EPA recognized the need for a companion document to identify the
capabilities of field equipment currently in use or being considered by EPA, to screen sites for the
presence of the SAM analytes. This document is intended to address this need, in part, by
providing information regarding the capabilities of field equipment currently being used or
considered by EPA on-scene coordinators (OSC), for detecting chemical and radiochemical
analytes listed in SAM. The document corresponds to Revision 5.0 of SAM and EPA's OSC
equipment list as of September 1, 2009. As with SAM, NHSRC plans to update the information
in this document periodically, to reflect changes to the analytes listed in SAM or to the equipment
being used or considered by EPA OSCs.
2.0 Scope and Application
This document is intended to provide a general overview of information regarding field screening
equipment that is currently in use by EPA, in terms of equipment capabilities for addressing the
target chemical and radionuclide analytes and the environmental matrices included in SAM. The
information in this document is intended for use by decision makers in preparing for and
developing field screening site assessment activities. Detailed procedure(s) and/or instruction(s)
regarding the use of specific equipment, as well as information regarding the relative toxicity,
health risks, and environmental risks of the analytes, are outside the scope of this document.
Users should refer to the appropriate instrument manufacturer, SAM, and/or other references
listed in Section 4.0 and Tables la and Ib for further information on these topics.
NOTE: Information regarding the equipment listed in this document is provided in terms of
equipment capabilities to address the analytes and sample types listed in SAM. Assumptions
regarding whether analytes are of concern (i.e., will persist) in a particular sample type are based
on how the analytes are listed in SAM. Analytes that are listed in this document as not a concern
in a particular sample type reflect SAM workgroup decisions regarding analyte persistence.

3.2 Field Screening Equipment for SAM Radiochemistry Analytes
Ludlum Radiological Survey Meters - Ludlum rate meters with accompanying probes
measure alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. The following Ludlum meters are included in
this document:
- Ludlum Model 192 MicroR Radiation Meter (Page lb-1) - Used as a low-level
gamma radiation surveying instrument. The detector used in the instrument is an
internal 2-inch by 1-inch sodium-iodide scintillation counter. The detection range is
0 to 5,000 microroentgens per hour ((iR/hr).
- Ludlum Model 2241-3 Survey Meter with Model 44-9, 43-90 or 44-2 Probe (Page Ib-
2) - The Model 2241-3 is a sealer/rate meter that can use different probes: the Model
44-9 probe detects alpha/beta/gamma contamination; the Model 43-90 probe is used
for measuring alpha contamination; and the 44-2 probe is used to determine the
presence of gamma-emitting contamination. The Model 2241-3 also has a sealer
function to count radioactive disintegrations for a pre-selected time.
- Ludlum Model 15 Survey Meter (Page lb-2) - Used as a neutron counter by attaching
the neutron probe beneath the instrument in a shielded chamber. The survey meter
measures radiation in counts per minute (cpm) and has an effective operating range
of 0 to 500,000 cpm. It is used predominantly as a neutron detection device;
however, the auxiliary external Model 44-7 Geiger-Mueller probe will measure beta
and gamma radiation.
- Ludlum Model 3030 Alpha/Beta Counter (Page lb-3) - Dual-channel counter for
simultaneous alpha and beta radiation measurement of samples up to 2 inches in

999,999 cpm, with user-defined alarm levels.
RADeCo Model H810AC High Volume Air (Page lb-4) - Used for air sample collection
coupled to the Ludlum Model 3030 alpha/beta counter. Typical maximum flow rates
vary from 2.7 cubic feet per minute (cfm) to 11.8 cfin, depending on the cartridge and
filter combination. Microprocessor-based unit does not use rotameter or mechanical time
meter, increasing accuracy.
Thermo-Eberline RO20E Ion Chamber (Page lb-3) - Provides real-time monitoring of
beta, gamma, and x-ray radiation with a portable ion chamber, which is vented to
atmospheric pressure and specifically designed to have flat energy response into the x-ray
region. The detector is compensated over the operational temperature range for output
accuracy within 10%. The range of operation is 1 millirem per hour (mrem/hr) to 50
roentgen equivalent in man (rems) per hour. These instruments are usually used as a
secondary survey device if high radiation fields have been indicated by a more sensitive
survey instrument such as the Ludlum Model 192 MicroR Radiation Meter.
Berkeley Nucleonics SAM 940 Gamma Spectrometer (Page lb-5) - Portable gamma
and neutron radiation detector that identifies multiple radionuclides simultaneously.

Table 1b: Field Screening Equipment - Use in Detecting Radiochemistry Analytes Listed in SAM 5.0
The following assumptions/nuclear physics variables should be considered when assessing data from each instrument:
It is assumed that standard health physics and radiation protection protocols are used consistently when comparing measurements. For example, all comparative
radiation dose measurements are made at the same distance from the source term (at contact, one foot, etc.), all contamination measurements are consistent as to
source to detector configuration, and the efficiency of the detector is well known to perform comparative readings from one detector system to another.
It is assumed, for gamma spectroscopy measurements for comparative results, that the source configuration characteristics are well known to take into consideration
the Z (density value of composite composition) of matrix, the Z of the container, expected homogeneity of the radioisotope in the sample matrix, and sample volume for
self-absorption and gamma attenuation coefficients. For example, Am-241 measurements at the surface of an open steel container will give higher values because
there is no steel to attenuate the low energy gamma vs. measuring the same container from the side through the steel.
Minimum Detectable Activities, count rates, and/or dose rates are well established for each instrument prior to field utilization and re-evaluated to ambient
backgrounds, in the field, to assess the instrument's capability to produce acceptable and usable data.
If field measurements cannot determine presence/absence of a contaminant and samples have to be taken for laboratory analysis, ensure sample size is of sufficient
quantity to enable the laboratory to meet presence/absence criteria (contact laboratory for sample size requirements prior to sampling).

Table 2b: SAM Radiochemistry Analytes - Detection using Field Screening Equipment
The following assumptions/nuclear physics variables should be considered when assessing data from each instrument:
It is assumed that standard health physics and radiation protection protocols are used consistently when comparing measurements. For example, all comparative
radiation dose measurements are made at the same distance from the source term (at contact, one foot, etc.), all contamination measurements are consistent as to
source to detector configuration, and the efficiency of the detector is well known to perform comparative readings from one detector system to another.
It is assumed, for gamma spectroscopy measurements for comparative results, that the source configuration characteristics are well known to take into consideration
the Z (density value of composite composition) of matrix, the Z of the container, expected homogeneity of the radioisotope in the sample matrix, and sample volume for
self-absorption and gamma attenuation coefficients. For example, Am-241 measurements at the surface of an open steel container will give higher values because
there is no steel to attenuate the low energy gamma vs. measuring the same container from the side through the steel.
Minimum Detectable Activities, count rates, and/or dose rates are well established for each instrument prior to field utilization and re-evaluated to ambient
backgrounds, in the field, to assess the instrument's capability to produce acceptable and usable data.
If field measurements cannot determine presence/absence of a contaminant and samples have to be taken for laboratory analysis, ensure sample size is of sufficient
quantity to enable the laboratory to meet presence/absence criteria (contact laboratory for sample size requirements prior to sampling).
