U.S. EPA COUNTS PER MINUTE (CPM) FOR SUPERFUND ELECTRONIC CALCULATOR
U.S. EPA COUNTS PER MINUTE (CPM) FOR SUPERFUND ELECTRONIC CALCULATOR
U.S. EPA, 2025
Filed Under: General News
Filed Under: General News
EPA developed the CPM electronic calculator to help risk assessors, RPMs, and others involved with risk assessment and decision-making at radioactively contaminated sites. The CPM electronic calculator provides a method for correlating real-time survey results, which are often expressed as counts per minute, to contaminant concentrations that are more typically expressed in pCi/g or pCi/m2, at Superfund sites (those regulated under CERCLA). The CPM calculator intends to facilitate more real-time measurements within a Superfund response framework. The CPM calculator may also standardize the process of converting lab data to real-time measurements. It will thus lessen the amount of lab sampling that is needed for site characterization and confirmation surveys, but it will not remove the need for sampling. https://epa-cpm.ornl.gov/index.html
