Unconfined underground radioactive waste and contamination in the 200 Areas
The purpose of this report is to document the present knowledge about locations in the 200 Areas where radioactive material has been discharged to ground. Despite efforts to make this report complete, some information may have been overlooked. It is requested that additional pertinent data concerning the locations listed or other locations which may have been omitted be forwarded to the Exposure Illustrator, Radiological Sciences Department. The report has been broken down into two classifications--planned and unplanned disposal. Planned disposal includes cribs, solid waste burial grounds, trenches, etc. Unplanned disposal includes locations where radioactive material was discharged to ground due to leaks in piping, process tank coil leaks, diversion box work, etc. Revisions to this report will be issued as warranted by receipt of information on any new or old disposal areas. 8 figs.
