Title: Master schedule for CY-1984 Hanford environmental surveillance routine sampling program

Abstract

This report provides the current schedule of data collection for the routine Hanford environmental surveillance and ground-water Monitoring Programs at the Hanford Site. The purpose is to evaluate and report the levels of radioactive and nonradioactive pollutants in the Hanford environs. The routine sampling schedule provided herein does not include samples that are planned to be collected during FY-1984 in support of special studies, special contractor support programs, or for quality control purposes.

  • The current schedule of data collection for the routine Hanford environmental surveillance and ground-water monitoring programs at the Hanford Site is presented. The purpose of the programs is to evaluate and report the levels of radioactive and nonradioactive pollutants in the Hanford environs. Radiological monitoring data are reported for air (particulate filter and gases/vapor), Columbia River water, sanitary water, onsite pond water, foodstuffs (whole milk, leafy vegetables, fruit, wheat/alfalfa, beef, poultry/eggs), wildlife, soil and vegetation, and direct radiation. Information is also given for on site radiation control audit surveys (roadway, railway, aerial, and waste disposal sites, and the Hanford ground-watermore » monitoring program.« less
  • The current schedule of data collection for the routine environmental surveillance program at the Hanford Site is provided. Questions about specific entries should be referred to the authors since modifications to the schedule are made during the year and special areas of study, usually of short duration, are not scheduled. The environmental surveillance program objectives are to evaluate the levels of radioactive and nonradioactive pollutants in the Hanford environs, as required in Manual Chapter 0513, and to monitor Hanford operations for compliance with applicable environmental criteria given in Manual Chapter 0524 and Washington State Water Quality Standards. Air quality datamore » obtained in a separate program are also reported. The collection schedule for potable water is shown but it is not part of the routine environmental surveillance program. Schedules are presented for the following subjects: air, Columbia River, sanitary water, surface water, ground water, foodstuffs, wildlife, soil and vegetation, external radiation measurement, portable instrument surveys, and surveillance of waste disposal sites.

  • This report provides the current schedule of data collection for the routine environmental surveillance program at the Hanford plant, as conducted by the Environmental Evaluation Section of Battelle-Northwest for the Atomic Energy Commission. The intent of the program is to monitor compliance for the Hanford plant as a whole with applicable environmental, as well as to detect unusual levels and changing trends of environmental radioactivity. With N-Reactor as the only operating production reactor, a major de-emphasis of the river-associated portions of the routine surveillance program occurred in 1971. Although some effort continues in all media categories, specific measurement for short-livedmore » nuclides is no longer done routinely, and the time-scale of any remaining sources of activity released to the river is such as to permit reduced measurement frequency. 15 tabs.« less
