Abstract:
An environmental radiological monitoring program was conducted. All data obtained during a period extending from 1 12 years prior to SM-1 reactor start-up through more than 3 years of reactor operation are summarized. The period extended from November 1954 through December 1960. Samples assayed for radioactivity include the following River water and botton silt SM-1 condenser cooling water subsurface ground water rain and snow atmospheric particles obtained by air filtration and fallout and biota. The report concludes that after more than 3 years of SM-1 reactor operation, no significant increase has been noted in the radiological background level in the Fort Belvoir area.
