Performing a wipe test (radioactivity leak test)<br />

<strong>Electron</strong> capture detectors must be tested for radioactive leakage at least every<br />

6 months. Records of tests and results must be maintained for possible inspection<br />

by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and/or responsible state agency. More<br />

frequent tests may be conducted when necessary.<br />

<strong>The</strong> procedure used is the wipe test. A wipe test kit is supplied with each new<br />

detector. Refer to the information card supplied in the Wipe Test Kit for instructions on<br />

performing the test.<br />
