Under Memorandum of Understanding No. EY-76-A-08-0539 with the US Department of Energy (DOE), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory-Las Vegas (EMSL-LV), continued its Off-Site Radiological Safety Program within the environment surrounding the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at other sites designated by the DOE during calendar year 1978. This report, prepared in accordance with the DOE Manual, Chapter 0513, contains summaries of the EMSL-LV dosimetry and sampling methods and analytical procedures, and the analytical results from environmental samples collected in support of the DOE nuclear testing activities. Where applicable, dosimetry and sampling data are compared to appropriate guides for external and internal exposures of humans to ionizing radiation. In addition, a brief summary of pertinent, and demographical, features of the NTS and the NTS environs is presented for background information.
