Whe do you need to do a wipe test? If the contamination shows to be three time your measured background radiation then you need to preform a wipe test. You will need cotton swaps, vinyl gloves, radiation meter or counter. You will use the cotton swap to go over the containated are with "S" motion and rotate the cotton swab. Place the cotton swaps on a clean plate or paper and use your measuring meter to measure any nuclear activity.
