    NRC Initial Analyte Matrix List.pdf
    The document presents screening values for particular radioactive materials, delineated in Table 1 (measured in pCi/g) and Table 2 (measured in dpm/100cm²). These tables outline thresholds that determine acceptable levels of radioactive contamination in various contexts, primarily for public health and safety in governmental assessments. The main topic revolves around establishing safe exposure limits to protect communities from potential radiation hazards. Supporting details include specific numeric values, which serve as guidelines for environmental professionals and regulatory bodies during evaluations and remediations involving contaminated sites. The structured format, consisting of two tables, allows for quick reference and comparison of the allowable screening levels, underscoring the importance of compliance with governmental safety standards in managing hazardous materials. This document aligns with federal and state RFPs and grants focused on environmental safety and public health initiatives.
