Iodine-129: Environmental monitoring and population dose in the Hanford environs
Conference
·
OSTI ID:7096794
Iodine-129 is an important radionuclide to be considered in environmental monitoring programs in the vicinity of fuel reprocessing plants. Because of its long half-life, 1.6 /times/ 10 /sup 7/ year, and active behavior in biological and environmental systems, it has the potential for accumulating in the environment from long-term, chronic releases. When the PUREX Plant at Hanford restarted reprocessing fuel in 1983, monitoring for /sup 129/I was included in the environmental monitoring program conducted by Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL). Low levels of /sup 129/I have access to environmental pathways from past airborne releases, current releases to the atmosphere, and ground-water seepage into the Columbia River. 4 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
