Radon and radon daughter measurements at and near the former Middlesex Sampling Plant, Middlesex, New Jersey

Description: The results of the radon and radon daughter measurements made to date (1978) at the Middlesex Sampling Plant in Middlesex, New Jersey, are presented in this report. These measurements were one portion of a more comprehensive radiological survey conducted at this site and the surrounding area from 1976 to 1978. The surveyed property served as a uranium ore sampling plant during the 1940's and early 1950's and as a result contains elevated levels of surface an subsurface contamination. On-site in… more

What is ALARA

Description: The as-low-as-reasonably-achievable (ALARA) philosophy as it applies to personnel radiation exposure has been with us for a long time. The essential tenets of this philosophy surfaced quite early in the history of the Manhattan Project. Although the terminology has suffered through various translations and the application has seen many organizations and agencies come and go, the principles remain as valid today as ever. It is regretable that some regulatory agencies claim ALARA as their newfoun… more

Formerly utilized MED/AEC sites remedial action program. Radiological survey of the Ashland Oil Company (former Haist property), Tonawanda, New York. Final report

Description: The results of a radiological survey of the former Haist property, Tonawanda, New York, are presented in this report. The property served as a repository for uranium ore tailings during the period 1944--46. It was released for unrestricted use following a survey conducted in 1958 by the Health and Safety Laboratory (HASL), operated then by the Atomic Energy Commission. The property is now owned by Ashland Oil, Inc., and is used for oil refining operations. The survey was undertaken to determine… more

Weldon Spring dose calculations. [Site of former feed materials plant in Missouri]

Description: In response to a request by the Oak Ridge Operations (ORO) Office of the Department of Energy (DOE) for assistance to the Department of the Army (DA) on the decommissioning of the Weldon Spring Chemical Plant, the Health and Safety Research Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) performed limited dose assessment calculations for that site. Based upon radiological measurements from a number of soil samples analyzed by ORNL and from previously acquired radiological data for the Weld… more

Third Personnel Dosimetry Intercomparison Study

Description: The third Personnel Dosimetery Intercomparison Study was held at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Dosimetry Applications Research Facility during March 15--16, 1977. The Health Physics Research Reactor (HPRR), used unshielded, with a 12-cm-thick Lucite shield or a 13-cm-thick steel shield, provided three neutron and gamma-ray spectra. The characteristics of these fields such as neutron energy spectra, intensity, and uniformity had been measured previously during nuclear accident dosimetry stud… more

1976 intercomparison of personnel dosimeters

Description: The second Personnel Dosimeter Intercomparison Study (PDIS) was conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's DOSAR Facility during the period February 18-19, 1976. Eleven independent organizations participated in an intercomparison of neutron and gamma-ray dosimeters used for routine personnel dosimetry. The dosimeters, which were shipped to the DOSAR Facility, were exposed at the Health Physics Research Reactor to one of three ''standardized'' radiation fields which have been used for the past… more

Radiological assessment of decommissioned nuclear facilities. [Middlesex, New Jersey, uranium ore sampling plant]

Description: A radiological survey of the former Middlesex Sampling Plant, Middlesex, New Jersey, has been completed. The surveyed property served as a uranium ore sampling plant during the 1940's and early 1950's. It was released for unrestricted use in 1967 following a radiological survey by the Atomic Energy Commission and is now a reserve training center for the U. S. Marine Sixth Motor Transport Battalion. The present survey was undertaken to determine whether the existing radiological status of the pr… more

Intercomparison of personnel dosimeters

Description: An intercomparison of personnel monitoring dosimeters was conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's DOSAR Facility. Ten independent laboratories and companies participated in an intercomparison of neutron and gamma-ray dosimeters used for routine personnel dosimetry. The dosimeters, which were sent through the mail, were exposed at the Health Physics Research Reactor to the same three ''standardized'' radiation fields which have been used for the past several years for intercomparing nuclear… more

Application of the ALAP concept to occupational exposure at operating light water reactors

Description: The application of the as-low-as-practicable (ALAP) concept to radiation exposure of workers at light-water reactors (LWR's) has recently received increased attention. The purpose of the project described is to investigate the means by which occupational exposure at operating LWR's can be reduced to the lowest practicable levels. Nine LWR stations, including 16 operating reactors, were studied in Phase I of the project to identify significant sources of exposure and to determine the magnitude o… more
