title: A new integral-mode survey method for the determination of average surface contamination levels.
abstract: A new integral-mode survey method is described for the direct measurement of average surface contamination levels. It is a method made possible by the modern generation of integrating ratemeters. Experiments were conducted to show both the effects of sources at a distance from or off-center from a probe. Case trials were conducted that demonstrated the method. It allows essentially four surveys to be performed for the price of one.
