Nevada Test Site Radionuclide Inventory and Distribution Program: Report No. 2. Areas 2 and 4

Description

Radionuclide activity was measured by in situ spectrometry at 349 locations in Areas 2 and 4 of the Nevada Test Site. The data were analyzed by kriging and other methods to estimate the total inventory and distribution of six man-made radionuclides that were present in measurable amounts. Isotope ratios in soil samples were then used to infer the inventories of three other radionuclides. The estimated inventories were: 241Am, 8 curies; 238Pu, 18 curies; /sup 239,240/Pu, 51 curies; 60Co, 7 curies; 137Cs, 34 curies; 90Sr, 71 curies; 152Eu, 35 curies; 154Eu, 6 curies; and 155Eu, 3 curies
