Site environmental report for calendar year 1985
This report summarizes the environmental activities and their results at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) for Calendar Year (CY-) 1985. Fermilab performed environmental monitoring in CY-1985 on three types of accelerator-produced radiation: penetrating, airborne, and waterborne. The penetrating radiation of concern was muons. Neutrons and gamma-rays were also monitored. The airborne radionuclide was /sup 11/C and the primary waterborne radionuclide was /sup 3/H (tritium). The highest off-site penetrating radiation level was 1.5% of the relevant standard. The highest airborne radionuclide concentration was 0.1% of the standard and the highest waterborne concentration was less than 0.6% of the standard. Monitoring for chemical pollutants in drinking water systems on the site indicated good water quality in all the wells sampled. The only parameters which exceeded the standard in any sample were iron, total dissolved solids, and in one well, sulfate. Monitoring results are also reported for non-radioactive pollutants. Included as pollutants are pesticides used in weed, insect, rodent, and algae control. In addition, results are included from monitoring the performance of the sewage treatment plant (Village Oxidation Pond) on-site.
