Description

Background soils from areas around the United States Department of Energy facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee were characterized as part of an environmental restoration project. The data obtained in this project were validated using guidelines from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Contract Laboratory Program (CLP), when EPA methods were used. However, there are no final EPA guidelines for validation of data obtained using radiochemical analytical methods, so procedures for validation had to be developed. This paper will describe the validation guidelines that were developed for neutron activation analysis (NAA) data and discuss the regulatory basis for them. (author) 4 refs.; 3 tabs
