collected in the last year. <br />5. It was agreed that the urine samples from employees <br />would not be collected at this time. It would be <br />more appropriate to see the results of the other <br />materials and if significant levels of Plutonium are <br />detected, then it would be appropriate to test the <br />levels in humans. <br />LABORATORIES <br />After discussion of the test methodology, accuracy, lead <br />times, and the merits of three (3) separate testing labs, the <br />following was agreed: <br />Acculabs was selected to be "Lab 1" as identified on the <br />sample matrix. <br />-Capable of counting to the required accuracy <br />-Very experienced in Plutonium testing <br />-Good reputation for reliability and accuracy <br />-Reasonable price <br />-8 to 10 week lead and test time <br />Colorado State University was selected as "Lab 2" as <br />identified on the sample matrix. <br />-Able to reach or come close to required accuracy <br />-Experienced in Plutonium testing <br />-Good reputation for reliability and accuracy <br />-More expensive but competitive <br />-60 day lead and test time <br />A third laboratory was thrown out because of limited <br />experience in plutonium measurement. <br />OBTAINING SAMPLES <br />There were two engineering firms discussed for actually <br />pulling the samples for testing: SHB AGRA and Sheperd <br />Miller. <br />SHB AGRA has prior experience but has a consulting <br />relationship with SWPC currently. This relationship <br />eliminated them to avoid any conflict of interest or bias. <br />Sheperd Miller was recommended by Jan Johnson as having prior <br />experience and capable of doing the job requested. As a <br />matter of elimination it was agreed that they would be the <br />sampling firm. <br />It was agreed that the sampling date, time and location would <br />be made public and that representatives of interested groups <br />would be invited.
