ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOACTIVITY AT ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY, SUMMARY REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4833795
No abstract.<>15:031044The very low levels of radioactivity in air, water, vegetation, milk, and aquatic specimens in the immediate vicinity of the Plant were usually too low to be distinguished from natural background or from bomb debris from global weapons testing activities. Although the radioactivity levels in Savannah River water and aquatic organisms adjacent and downstream from the Plant were slightly higher than in comparable materials in the river above the Plant, the concentrations were of no health significance and were negligible in terms of the recommended Radioactivity Concentration Guide levels.
