Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant historical uranium and radionuclide release report
Description
This report compiles all available historic data of the quantities of uranium and various radionuclides released from the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant (ORGDP) from 1946 through 1984. Concentrations in the environment and the probable health effects to the public due to those releases are also discussed. The historical release data are compiled into three major areas; airborne releases, liquid effluent releases, and solid waste burial onsite. Historical release data exists for uranium, technitium-99, neptunium-237, plutonium-239, krypton-85, and thorium-232. The total radiation exposure to all residents within a 15 mile and a 50 mile radius of ORGDP was calculated based on the total radioactive emissions from 1946 through 1984
