BASIC DATA FROM VEGETATION STUDIES RELATED TO THE MOVEMENT OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES I. Chemical and Physical Data on Soils and Plants of White Oak Lake Bed, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, 1956- 1960

摘要

Studies based on the data have been presented separately (DeSelm and Shanks, 1961a, b;Shanks and DeSelm, 1961). This report performs the dual function of making available the basic data of these published reports and of documentation of further details of the early history of this interesting and significant radioactive waste disposal area.nThe sampling area, a 3-acre portion of the lake bed which was selected for maximum surface uniformity, is shown in figures 1-4 and 6-20, and has been described elsewhere (DeSelm and Shanks, 1961b;Shanks and DeSelm, 1961). Sampling stations are indicated in many of the tables by reference to stakes located at 10-meter intervals on a rectangular grid, shown on many of the figures and designated by number and letter coordinates.
