Defense waste processing facility (DWPF) environmental dosimetry data
The original Environmental Impact Statement for the DWPF was issued in 1982. Since that time, estimated releases of radioactivity to the environment have changed because of the DWPF process. In addition, the methodology for calculating offsite doses from routine releases has changed. In anticipation of a potential supplement to the 1982 EIS, current dosimetry methodology has been used to estimate offsite doses from the current as-constructed estimate of radioactivity releases. Offsite doses have also been calculated for the radioactivity release data published in the 1982 EIS using current dosimetry methodology. The two data sets may therefore be used to compare the estimated original and current impacts. This memorandum documents the results of the offsite dose calculations for routine operation of the DWPF. Also included is a brief description of methodology and parameters used in the calculations. 8 refs., 2 figs., 10 tabs.
