Normalizing Radionuclide Concentration Exposure Rate and Dose Rate Data for the Effects of Radioactive Decay and Weathering Processes
This report describes the procedure that will be implemented to normalize radiological data, collected at various times, to one point in time. Raw radiological data is adjusted for the effects of radioactive decay and weathering processes. Normalizing the radiological data to one point in time enables data that has been collected at various times to be directly compared and utilized in radiological assessment, statistical analysis, and atmospheric dispersion models. This report fulfills a deliverable requirement for the U.S. Department of Energy’s, NA-84 Technology Integration Program for the FY17 project, SNL17-CM-635, Normalizing Radiological Data for Analysis and Integration into Models.
