Tests were carried out to determine periodically the radiation level at all monitored points in the radioactive waste disposal plant and the effictiveness of shield facilities in working areas at times during which the radiation level is above limits set by Health Physics. The radiation surveys were made using radiation control instruments available on the site. Air samplings were made, as necessary, to reflect activity level changes which occurred during incinerator or drumming operations. The radiation control measures in effect during the period of test performance appeared to be adequate. No conclusion could be made as to the effectiveness of the shielding facilities in the work areas. (M.C.G.)
