Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory annual environmental monitoring report. Calendar year 1985

Technical Report · Tue Dec 31 23:00:00 EST 1985

OSTI ID:5624575

The results of the effluent and environmental monitoring programs at the three Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) sites are summarized and assessed in this report. Operations at the three KAPL sites resulted in no significant release of hazardous substances or radioactivity to the environment. The effluent and environment monitoring programs conducted by KAPL are designed to determine the effectiveness of treatment and control methods; to provide measurement of the concentrations in effluents for comparison with applicable standards; and to assess resultant concentrations in the environment. The monitoring programs include analyses of samples of liquid and gaseous effluents for chemical constituents and radioactivity as well as monitoring of environmental air, water, sediment, and fish. Radiation measurements are also made around the perimeter of each site and at off-site background locations.
