Health physics 2013 AprThis paper presents readily understood, technically defensible, risk-based containment and air monitoring criteria, which are developed from fundamental physical principles. The key for the development of each criterion was the use of a calculational de minimis level, in this case chosen to be 100 mrem (or 40 DAC-h). Examples are provided that demonstrate the effective use of each criterion. Comparison to other often used criteria is provided.
