Smith, J M

This report presents results of the survey conducted by Eastern Environmental Radiation Facility (EERF) personnel to assess levels of environmental radioactivity resulting from maintenance and operation of nuclear-powered warships at the Charleston Naval Base and Shipyard and the Charleston Naval Weapons Station, near Charleston, South Carolina. The purpose of the survey was to determine if operations related to nuclear powered warship activities resulted in release of radionuclides which may contribute to significant population exposure or contamination of the environment. 4 refs., 5 figs., 3 tabs.
