title: Monitoring of 3H surface contamination by noncontact radioluminography.
abstract: A phosphor screen imaging technique has been developed to detect 3H contamination on floor surfaces. A 3H imaging plate is elevated a maximum of 0.1 cm above the surface being monitored. This technique prevents the imaging plate from being cross-contaminated. Unlike the traditional smear test, this technique can be used to monitor fixed contamination.
