Abstract

At the request of the Department of Energy, the Energy Measurements Group of EG and G participated in the Remedial Action program for the former Middlesex Sampling Plant and associated properties at Middlesex, New Jersey from July to November 1980. EG and G provided real time analysis of the radiological character of the soil of each property included in the Phase I cleanup before, during, and after decontamination. The method used for the analysis was in situ gamma spectroscopy employing a high purity germanium detector. This report describes the in situ system and displays the results of the in situ measurements before and after decontamination of the properties surveyed during Phase I.

Radiological survey report for the former Middlesex Sampling Plant, Middlesex, New Jersey

Technical Report

The former Middlesex Sampling Plant (MSP), Middlesex, New Jersey is currently owned by the United States Department of Energy (DOE). It was used from 1943 to 1967 as a sampling and storage facility for uranium and thorium concentrates. During the course of operations, the buildings and grounds at the site became contaminated. In 1980, DOE initiated a multiphase remedial action project to clean up the site and several vicinity properties onto which contamination from the plant had migrated. Material from these properties was consolidated in a storage pile at the MSP during Phases I and II of the project. Amore »« less
In situ surveys of the United States Department of Energy's Rocky Flats Plant, Golden, Colorado

Technical Report

In 1990, the Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) of EG G Energy Measurements, Inc. (EG G/EM) conducted in situ radiological surveys at the Rocky Flats Plant near Golden, Colorado. The Old Landfill Area was surveyed from October 25 through November 7, and an area east of the 903 Pad was surveyed from November 8 through December 8. As a precursor to the Old Landfill survey, an area south of the landfill along the north bank of Woman Creek was previously surveyed from August 29 through 31. The August survey employed a 20% N-type, high purity germanium (HPGe) gamma ray detector suspendedmore »« less
Phase II remedial action at the former Middlesex Sampling Plant site and associated properties. Final report. Volume 1

Technical Report

The former Middlesex Sampling Plant (MSP) and several adjacent and vicinity properties in Middlesex and Piscataway, New Jersey were designated in 1976 for remedial action under the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP). During the period 1943-55 uranium and thorium ores and concentrates were processed at the plant. Consequently, the plant site and several nearby properties were contaminated with radioactive residues. Phase I work comprised the construction of an impervious asphalt storage pad and drainage system at the former MSP site as well as decontamination of two properties adjacent to the site and three properties in the vicinity.

Environmental monitoring program for DOE Middlesex, New Jersey site

Technical Report Poff, T; Brown, J; Ficker, C

The Middlesex Sampling Plant Site (MSPS) is a United States Department of Energy (DOE) owned facility formerly used for processing and storage of radioactive materials, and currently utilized for interim storage of low level radioactive residues resulting from the cleanup of surrounding properties. The site occupies 9.61 acres of industrial property at 239 Mountain Avenue in the Borough of Middlesex, New Jersey. As a result of work done at the site from 1943 to 1955, in processing uranium and thorium ores and concentrates, the site, as well as a number of properties in the vicinity, has been contaminated with radioactivemore »« less

Phase I remedial action of properties associated with the former Middlesex Sampling Plant Site

Technical Report

The Phase I Remedial Action Work on properties associated with the Middlesex Sampling Plant Site in Middlesex, New Jersey was completed during 1980. In addition to the two properties included in the original scope of work, three other properties were decontaminated. In the playground across the street from the Rectory, contaminated soil was discovered and subsequently removed. Later, at the request of the DOE, the Kays and Rosamilia properties were decontaminated. Decontamination of the properties included in Phase I has, in the judgment of NLO, been successfully achieved, as evidenced by the data presented in this and in the referencedmore »« less
