The "Multi-Agency Radiological Laboratory Analytical Protocols Manual" (MARLAP) provides guidance for the planning, implementation and assessment phases of projects that require laboratory analysis of radionuclidesradionuclideRadioactive forms of elements are called radionuclides. Radium-226, Cesium-137, and Strontium-90 are examples of radionuclides.. MARLAP addresses the need for a nationally consistent approach to producing radioanalytical laboratory data that meet a project's or program's requirements. The guidance provided by MARLAP is both scientifically rigorous and flexible enough to be applied to diverse projects and programs. This guidance is intended for project planners, managers and laboratory personnel.
