Summary
The National Analytical Management Program within the Office of Site Operations is announcing that the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, Department of Defense, Food and Drug Administration, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and U.S. Geological Survey are meeting to develop a joint interagency guidance manual for programs and laboratories to use when planning and implementing the analysis of environmental samples for radioactivity. The manual uses a performance based approach and will provide guidance to both project planners and laboratory personnel. The guidance is being developed as a draft document entitled the MultiAgency Radiation Laboratory Protocol (MARLAP) Manual, and it is anticipated that the final product will be a consensus document each agency can agree upon and adopt. Meetings of the group are open to the public on a first
come, space available basis with advance registration. The agenda for this meeting will be available on the appropriate INTERNET sites listed in the Supplementary Information section.
