Method for prioritization of federal facilities regarding radon levels from statistical samples.

摘要

Although the current requirements of the Indoor Radon Abatement Act that pertain to federal facilities are only that federal agencies prepare study designs and take radon measurements from representative samples of federal buildings, it is expected that followup, detailed studies will be required in subsequent legislation. It is not likely that funds will be available to permit the detailed measurements of the radon levels in all federal buildings. It is likely, however, that some funds will be available to make those measurements in buildings or installations where the chances of finding high radon levels are the greatest. The method described in this paper addresses the need for the determination of those facilities that have the greatest chance of having high radon levels based on statistical samples taken from those facilities. 6 refs., 2 tabs.
