Hunt, D C

This report summarizes research and evaluation activities for the Environmental Sciences Branch from July 1, 1981 to December 30, 1981. Progress is reported in five primary areas: dust transport, distribution of transuranics in sediment, evaluation of critical ecological pathways for radionuclides, terrestrial ecosystem compartmentalization of plutonium and americium, and environmental health studies. Progress is also described in programs dealing with (1) plant land management, (2) meteorological sutdies, (3) efficiency measurements on filter media used for environmental monitoring, (4) aerosol collection efficiency measurement on a sierra high-volume impactor sampler, (5) incident evaluation techniques using foliar deposition sampling, and (6) determination of loadings on plutonium plenum High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters.
