Offsite doses from SRS releases over the period of site operation
Doses to offsite individuals and at-risk populations from Savannah River Site (SRS) releases for the period 1954--1989 have been estimated. These data have been generated in response to questions regarding the overall impact of SRS operations on the offsite environment. These data are comprehensive in the sense-that all known measured and calculated atmospheric and liquid release values have been included in the assessment. This work should not be interpreted as a formal dose reconstruction as current sites-specific-data used. Three key assumptions were for these doses which affect their interpretation: (1) persons in the at-risk populations were assumed to have remained at their designated locations continuously from 1954--1989, (2) it was assumed that these individuals will live for years following 1989, and (3) the Beaufort-Jasper water treatment plant was assumed to have operated continually since 1954 even though operations actually began in 1965. Dose estimates for several at-risk individuals and populations are listed in Table 4. A comparison of the doses from the SRS and other sources of ionizing radiation in the environment has also been included.
