1980 Environmental Monitoring Report, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Description: Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque is located south of the city on two broad mesas. The local climate is arid continental.

1984 environmental monitoring report

Description: The environmental monitoring program has been designed to ensure that BNL facilities operate such that the applicable environmental standards and effluent control requirements have been met. A listing, as required by DOE Order 5484.1 of BNL facilities, of environmental agencies and permits is provided in the Environmental Program Information Section 3.0, Table B. Since the aquifer underlying Long Island has been designated a ''sole source'' aquifer, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Dri… more

1986 Environmental Monitoring Report

Description: SNLL conducts various research activities which have the potential for release of hazardous materials or radionuclides to the environment. Potential emissions include tritium, depleted uranium, metals, solvents, and common laboratory chemicals. SNLL handles gram quantities of tritium, kilogram quantities of depleted uranium, but only microcurie quantities of other isotopes. Airborne tritium released in 1986 during research at the TRL was 760 curies (predominantly the oxide form) and 24 millicur… more

Acceptability of reactors in space

Description: Reactors are the key to our future expansion into space. However, there has been some confusion in the public as to whether they are a safe and acceptable technology for use in space. The answer to these questions is explored. The US position is that when reactors are the preferred technical choice, that they can be used safely. In fact, it dies not appear that reactors add measurably to the risk associated with the Space Transportation System.
