[en] When Berkeley Nuclear Laboratory (BNL) was built, a 3 inch cast iron pipe was laid to carry the radioactive effluent from the BNL effluent treatment plant to the power station for further treatment and/or discharge. In 1980/81 a new pipe line was installed and since then the old line has remained unused. As part of the refurbishment of certain parts of the BNL site currently in progress, the majority of the pipe is to be dug up in two stages, although a small length of the pipe which runs under existing foundations will be left in the ground. This report gives the radioactive inventory of the pipe based on measurements made during the first state of removal. Samples from the trench dug to expose the pipe were taken before and after the removal of the pipe and analysed to determine whether the pipe had leaked and the level of contamination caused by the pipe's removal.
