Results of the Radiological Survey at 80 Hancock Street (LJ059), Lodi, New Jersey.

摘要

During the early years of operation, Maywood Chemical Works (MCW) stored wastes and residues in low-lying areas west of the processing facilities. In the early 1930s, these areas were separated from the rest of the property by the construction of New Jersey State Highway 17. The Stepan property, the interim storage facility, and several vicinity properties have been designated for remedial action by the Department of Energy (DOE). The property discussed in this report and properties in its vicinity contaminated with residues from the former MCW, were included as a decontamination research and development project under the DOE Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program. As part of this project, DOE is conducting radiological surveys in the vicinity of the site to identify properties contaminated with residues derived from the MCW. The principal radionuclide of concern is thorium-232. The radiological survey discussed in this report is part of that effort and was conducted, at the request of DOE, by members of the Measurement Applications and Development group of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A radiological survey of the commercial property at 80 Hancock Street, Lodi, New Jersey, was conducted. 4 refs., 3 figs., 3 tabs. (ERA citation 14:025353)
