To determine the extent of radiological contamination at sites scheduled for decontamination and decommissioning, ORISE performs independent, objective environmental assessments. These contaminated site assessments are designed using the data quality objectives process, which focuses on the particular objective of the assessment, thus narrowing the data collected. Surface scans are performed and documented using technology such as Global Positioning Systems to produce location-specific, color-coded maps to document radiation levels.
