Technical Report · Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1988

OSTI ID:5252219

United States. Bonneville Power Administration.

This report lists the accumulated results of the Bonneville Power Administration regionwide Residential Weatherization Program radon monitoring received as of January 1, 1988. This data represents only those readings within the service areas of utilities (and the State of Washington, Department of Community Development) who participate in the Residential Weatherization Program. Several areas in the Pacific Northwest are excluded in this evaluation. In addition, the amount of results received is heavily weighted by the number of homes weatherized and monitored through large utility weatherization programs located in Western Oregon and Washington. This report provides a summary of all the data collected for the States of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Specific data is listed by US Geological Survey designated range and township locations. The specific data listed by range and township includes only those townships with a minimum of five radon readings. This has been done to protect the privacy of those residences participating in the program. The radon measurements results contained in this report were conducted by passive alpha-track radon detectors. The Residential Weatherization Program requires that the detectors be placed in residence for a minimum of 3 winter months, up to 1 year in length. Due to the variations in the length of measurements, we added a section to this report which lists the average radon values for given exposure periods.
