Scope
This standard will provide guidance on the development of Data Quality Objectives, relating to the provision of data in support of the management of radioactive waste.
This Standard describes the main reasons why data are provided in support of Radioactive Waste Management, provides examples of data and information which may applicable and provides guidance on the application of DQO for the specification and provision of that data. The scope of the guidance provided in this standard is divided into three broad areas: waste; waste characteristics and data collection objectives.
Specific techniques for the collection of data are outside of the scope of this guidance.
Purpose
The industry is in need of guidance to enable better definition of data collected to inform decisions associated with the Management of Radioactive Waste. Current guidance is only applicable to land remediation; it isn’t appropriate for other stages of the Radioactive Waste Management Lifecycle, as currently presented. The Guidance will provide the basis for a consistent approach to the specification of the requirements for data and information gathering; also a more efficient and cost-effective use of resources.
