Powernet: Limits on contamination for hot tools?

[Eric . Goldin]

This question has probably been asked and answered before but I'm wondering what you'all use for acceptable limits for contamination on hot tools (not those specifically designated for containment).  I assume no detectable smearable (< 1k dpm/100 cm2) but how about fixed?  5k dpm/probe area?  Any specific criteria for what total activity the tool exhibits if placed in a SAM?  Such as 20 nCi (~50k dpm)?  

Thanks, Eric (San Onofre HP Tech Support)
