is present to make the radiation surveys required by this part and by 10 
CFR part 20 of this chapter. Instrumentation required by this section

one decade; and for digital instruments, at 3 points between 0.02 and 10 
millisieverts (2 and 1000 millirems) per hour; and
    (3) So that an accuracy within plus or minus 20 percent of the
