These records must include any known information on identification of involved nuclides, quantities, forms, and concentrations. ( 2 ) As-built drawings and modifications of structures and equipment in restricted areas where radioactive materials are used and/or stored, and of locations of possible inaccessible contamination such as buried pipes which may be subject to contamination.
