Environmental Surveillance of the US Department of Energy Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant and Surrounding Environs during 1987

摘要

This report consists of two parts: summary, discussion, and conclusions (Part 1) and data presentation (Part 2). The objectives of this report are the following: Report 1987 monitoring data for the installation and its environs that may have been affected by operations on the plant site. Provide reasonably detailed information about the plant site and plant operations. Provide detailed information on input and assumptions used on all calculations. Provide trend analyses, where appropriate, to indicate increases and decreases in environmental impact. Provide general information on plant quality assurance. Routine monitoring and sampling for radiation, radioactive materials, and chemical substances on and off the DOE site are used to document compliance with appropriate standards, identify trends, provide information for the public, and contribute to general environmental knowledge. The surveillance program assists in fulfilling the DOE policy of protecting the public, employees, and the environment from harm that could be caused by its activities and reducing negative environmental impacts to the greatest degree practical. Environmental monitoring information complements data on specific releases, trends, and summaries. (ERA citation 13:035734)
