Which feature on a survey map shows the location of a smear sample?

• A. Time of smear collection
• B. Location of smear
• C. Dose rate at smear location
• D. Map scale

Answer: (B)

In a survey map used for smear sampling, you need a way to connect the results to the exact spot on the surface. The feature that shows where the smear sample was taken is the location of smear. It’s typically represented by a symbol or dot at the sampling point and may be labeled with an identifier that links to the data sheet with the time of collection and the measured dose rate. The time of smear collection is information about when the sample was taken, not where it was taken. The dose rate at the smear location is the measurement obtained at that spot, not the marking of its position on the map. Map scale simply indicates how map distances convert to real-world distances, not where samples were collected.
