ERA's MRAD™Multi-Media Radiochemistry Proficiency Testing (PT) study, MRAD-25, has been reviewed by ERA senior management.

A full review of all homogeneity, stability and accuracy verification data was completed.

The MRAD-25 results were examined for any study anomalies. There were no anomalies observed during the statistical review of the data.

The MRAD-25 reports shall not be reproduced except in their entirety and not without the permission of the participating laboratories. The report must not be used by the participating laboratories to claim product endorsement by any agency of the U. S. government.

The data contained herein are confidential and intended for your use only.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your assessment in ERA's MRAD™Multi-Media Radiochemistry Proficiency Testing program, please contact our Proficiency Testing Department at 1-800-372-0122.

The Method Description is the method the laboratory reported to ERA.

The Reported Value is the value that the laboratory reported to ERA.

The ERA Assigned Values for the Multi-Media Radiochemistry Proficiency Testing Standards are established per the guidelines contained in the 2009 TNI Standards as applicable. The ERA Assigned Values for the water and air filter standards are equal to 100% of the parameter present in the standard as determined by gravimetric and/or volumetric measurements made during standard preparation as applicable. The ERA Assigned Values for the soil and vegetation standards are equal to the maximum amount of the parameter available in the standard by applicable radiological methodologies. The assigned values are directly traceable to the commercially prepared starting materials used to manufacture the PT standards. Parameters not added to a standard may be given an assigned value of less than a minimum verified concentration as determined in the background matrix for applicable radiological methodologies.

The Acceptance Limits are established per the guidelines contained in the Department of Energy (DOE) report EML-564, Analysis of Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML) Quality Assessment Program (QAP) Data Determination of Operational Criteria and Control Limits for Performance Evaluation Purposes or ERA's SOP for the Generation of Performance Acceptance Limits™ as applicable.
