Radiological Assessment Survey of the Vance Road Facility Source Vault BuildingMaterials, Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, Oak Ridge, Tennessee

摘要

From the 1950s, the Vance Road laboratory was the site of extensive nuclearmedical research and involved the used of numerous radionuclides. These nuclides were stored in a source vault stored on the first floor of the facility. Nuclear medical research is no longer conducted in this facility, and the source vault was remediated in preparation for converting the area to office space and general use. The Environmental Survey and Site Assessment Program (ESSAP) of ORISE performed a radiological assessment survey of the source vault and its associated miscellaneous building materials and laboratory equipment in preparation for the conversion to general use space.
