Hayes, D W

Measurement of Cs-137 concentrations in Steel Creek, 1984, have shown that L Reactor flow tests have not changed the Cs-137 concentrations and the initial phases of L Pond dam construction have only caused a slight increase in Cs-137 concentrations. The Cs-137 concentrations in 1984 were about 1 to 2 percent of the EPA drinking water concentration guide of 200 pCi/L. The concentration in Steel Creek is essentially the same as in 1980, before any major L Reactor refurbishing. The data obtained in 1984 indicate that initial Cs-137 remobilization estimates for Steel Creek are still valid.
