In 1988, there were no adverse trends observed from the routine radioactive and chemical discharges in the 100 Areas. Also, releases specifically from the N Reactor in the 100-N Area were within the technical specifications that limit operation of the plant. These releases were as expected, for the N Reactor has been shut down since January 7, 1987. The radiological and chemical releases in 1988 were generally less than those in 1987 due to the continued shutdown of the N Reactor. Initially this extended shutdown was ordered for upgrading of the reactor safety systems. However, N Reactor has remained shut down in cold standby,'' due to the uncertain role it has in producing special nuclear materials. This document contains information on nonradioactive and radioactive substances released to the environment from Westinghouse Hanford Company facilities in the 100 Areas during calendar year 1988. 2 refs., 9 figs., 18 tabs.
