Maywood interim storage site. Annual site environmental report, calendar year 1985

Technical Report · Thu May 01 00:00:00 EDT 1986

OSTI ID:5696962

During 1985, the environmental monitoring program was continued at the Maywood Interim Storage Site (MISS), a US Department of Energy (DOE) facility located in the Borough of Maywood and the Township of Rochelle Park, New Jersey. The MISS is presently used for the storage of low-level radioactively contaminated soils. Monitoring results show that the MISS is in compliance with DOE concentration guides and radiation protection standards. Derived Concentration Guides (DCGs) represent the concentrations of radionuclides in air or water that would limit the radiation dose to 100 mrem/yr. The applicable guides have been revised since the 1984 environmental monitoring report was published. The guides applied in 1984 were based on a radiation protection standard of 500 mrem/yr; the guides applied for 1985 are based on a standard of 100 mrem/yr.
