bags shears Sample tags Scale Duct tape Cooler with ice Additional rubber gloves Carry storage box to sampling site as well as Sampling Team Procedures and radiological survey meter. At site location, take one plastic trash bag and place on the ground to protect storage box from contamination. Place storage box on plastic bag. Turn on Survey meter and conduct radiological survey. Take readings at waist level with the open face of the probe pointed toward the possible contamination (window open; W/O), then turn the probe over and take a reading with the face of the probe pointed away from the possible contamination (window closed; W/C). Record readings on Alpha-Beta-Gamma Exposure Rate Log. Take the same readings at ground level and record on log. Open 2 large trash bags. Place waste storage bag in storage box with top folded back. Collect minimum of 4 lbs of edible portion of plant materials (e.g. leafage, tubers, fruits, flowers, etc.) using grass shears to cut. Place sample into bag. Weigh bag with scale to insure minimum of 4 lbs. off shears using towelettes. Wipe off shears from area of least contamination to area of greatest contamination. Use only one side of towelette. Use as many towelettes as necessary. Place used towellettes in waste bag. Check grass shears for contamination. Place grass shears in storage box if no contamination. If contamination present, do (h) above again. Check gloves for contamination. If contamination is present, change rubber gloves. Remove air from bag. Seal bag with duct tape. Take a contact dose rate reading of sample bag and fill out Sample Data Sheet. Carry sample bag back to vehicle as well as the storage box. Pick up bag and the plastic bag that was under storage box and dispose of in waste bag. Carry waste bag back to vehicle.
