Volume Contamination definition

Volume Contamination means the presence of radioactive contamination residing in or throughout the volume or matrix of an item or material. Volume contamination is usually expressed in terms of radioactivity levels per unit mass, including Bq/g, Bq/kg, Bq/cm3, or dpm/cm3.
