Environmental Radioactivity at Argonne National Laboratory. Report for the Year 1958

Description: Data are tabulated on the radioactive content of samples of surface water, lake and stream bottom silt, soil, plants, and air filters from the environs of the Argonne National Laboratory. Results are compared with those for similar samples collected from the area from 1952 through 1958. Fission prcduct activity from nuclear detocations was found in most samples from all locations. Fall-out activity was greatest during the spring and fall, and was particularly noticeable in air, precipitation, a… more

Environmental Radioactivity at Argonne National Laboratory. Report for the Year 1956

Description: Concentrations of radioactivity in several types of samples obtained from the ANL site and from locations approximately 10, 25, and 100 miles from the Laboratory are given. Since ANL waste water is discharged into Sawmill Creek, which in turn empties into the Des Plaines River, special emphasis was placed on sampling these streams. Most of the results were obtained by coumting the total alpha and beta activities after suitable preparation of the samples. Some of the samples were also analyzed f… more

Environmental Radioactivity at Argonne National Laboratory. Report for the Year 1953

Description: The radioactive content of samples of rain, surface water, soil, plants, and material from the beds of surface waters (bottom silt) which were collected and analyzed during 1953 are given in this report. Samples were collected form the Laboratory site, at locations with 25 miles, and at places 100 miles from the Laboratory. Since Laboratory waste water is discharged into Sawmill Creek, water from the this stream was analyzed daily. Other samples were collected from the Laboratory site periodica… more
