SUMMARY
The purpose of this letter report is to document the status of the
identification, search, retrieval, evaluation, declassification and availa-
bility of 1) Hanford-Site-originated operating information necessary to recon-
struct radiation doses and 2) monitoring information indicating concentrations
of radioactive materials in the environment.
All information needed to date to reconstruct the radiation doses has
been identified, sought, retrieved, evaluated, declassified, and made avail-
able. Any data needed in the future that have not yet been found will be
sought using the same search tree method used to identify the Hanford-Site-
originated documents up to now. This search tree method has ensured that the
data quality objective of completeness is met.
Because there was a centralized list of documents for which we have
technical indices (during the sole-contractor eras of E.I. Du Pont de Nemours
and General Electric Companies, 1943-1964), the documents through 1964 have
been identified, and the document collections are considered as complete as
possible. The collection of documents from 1965-1972 is complete for monthly
average data but not to the same extent as for the years 1944-1964 where daily
and sometimes hourly data are often available and for which a subject index is
readily available. From 1965-1972 there were multiple contractors, each
maintaining a separate document system with no detailed subject index for
retrieval purposes. Because the documents reviewed to date have provided
sufficient information to develop source terms (to estimate radioactive
releases) it is not expected that an evaluation of the 1965-1972 documents
would produce any data that would have a significant effect on source terms.
A HEDR Information Resources Tracking System (HIRTS) database has been
established of all documents identified as being of potential interest and/or
use to dose reconstruction. The HIRTS contains more than 6000 citations with
bibliographic information on each report, document number(s), author(s),
title, date, document form (hard copy or microfilm), number of pages, loca-
tion, public availability, and names of HEDR Project and TSP staff who have
requested copies. Until the completion of the HEDR Project, newly identifiedv
