Multi-Agency Radiation Site Survey and Investigation Manual (MARSSIM)

An old friend of mine works at the NRC, and mentioned this draft report that he’d been involved in. Note the principal websites cited at EPA and NRC for additional information.

Multi-Agency Radiation Site Survey and Investigation Manual (MARSSIM)

MARSSIM will provide guidance for planning, conducting, evaluating and documenting environmental radiological surveys for demonstrating compliance with dose-based regulations.

Radiation Site Cleanup Regulation HomePage

Welcome to the EPA Radiation Site Cleanup Rule HomePage.

The Office of Radiation and Indoor Air is developing standards for cleaning up radioactively contaminated sites. This HomePage provides related documents and information that have been made available to the public during the course of the standards development process.

The HomePage also includes other documents and information that apply to radiation site cleanups. For example, the HomePage includes information on the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM), a multi-agency survey and compliance demonstration document.

This HomePage will be updated periodically as the rule development process continues.

Multi-Agency Radiation Site Survey and Investigation Manual (MARSSIM)

MARSSIM will provide guidance for planning, conducting, evaluating and documenting environmental radiological surveys for demonstrating compliance with dose-based regulations. The MARSSIM, when finalized, will be a multi-agency consensus information document. MARSSIM has been developed collaboratively over the past three years by four Federal agencies having authority for control of radioactive material; DoD, DOE, EPA, and NRC. The draft manual is being prepared by a multi-agency technical working group composed of representatives from DoD, DOE, EPA, and NRC.
