ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOACTIVITY AT ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY, JULY 1960- DECEMBER 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4840211
The radioactivity of the environment was determined by measuring the concentrations of radioactivity in air and water samples collected on and up to 100 miles from the Argonne site. Except for a large reduction in the amount of fall-out activity relative to the first half of 1959, the radioactivity in the environment during the second half of 1960 showed little change. Radioactivity found in the surface waters was well below the maximum penmissible concentrations. Data are tabulated. (P.C.H.)
