Abstract

The RAIS offers a site-specific background dataset for the Oak Ridge Reservation. The Oak Ridge Background Values (https://rais.ornl.gov/tools/orr_background.html)are from a Background Soil Characterization Project done at ORR in 1993. The purpose of the project was to evaluate the potential human health concerns from naturally occurring background constituents.

RAIS Portsmouth Background Values

Dataset Dolislager, Fred ; Manning, Karessa ; Noto, Katie ; ...

The Portsmouth Background Values (https://rais.ornl.gov/tools/ports_background.html) are from a Soil Background Report for the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, which sought to develop a comprehensive soil dataset using surface and subsurface soil samples. The Portsmouth background dataset on the RAIS also includes background concentrations for groundwater.
RAIS Paducah Background Values

Dataset Dolislager, Fred ; Manning, Karessa ; Noto, Katie ; ...

The Paducah Background Values (https://rais.ornl.gov/tools/pgdp_background.html) are from Methods for Conducting Risk Assessments and Risk Evaluations at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Volume 1, Human Health, which sought to establish provisional background values for groundwater and soil. These values were developed by considering agreements reached between the DOE and the regulatory agencies during comment resolution meetings, in the Federal Facility Agreement, and at technical meetings. The Paducah background concentrations are available for soil (surface and subsurface) and groundwater (filtered and unfiltered).
RAIS Generic Soil Background Values

Dataset Dolislager, Fred ; Manning, Karessa ; Noto, Katie ; ...

The RAIS offers two approaches to background screening: generic and site-specific. The Generic Background Values tool (https://rais.ornl.gov/tools/bg_search.php) contains generic soil background values for selected metals. These values can be applied to any area across the U.S. Users can compare these values against local background data or supplement an existing background value dataset. Results can be downloaded in .xlsx format.

Soil and soil fraction radiocarbon, C and N from the Enriched Background Isotope Study, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, USA

Dataset Heckman, Katherine ; Swanston, Christopher ; Hanson, Paul ; ...

A large accidental 14CO2 release at the Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee, USA provided a strong label pulse into adjacent, well-studied oak forests, resulting in highly elevated Δ14C values in leaf litter (~1000‰) and roots (~260–450‰). A four-year manipulative study was conducted to provide insight into mechanisms underlying soil Organic matter dynamics, specifically to determine the relative contribution of litter versus roots to the bulk mineral soil C pool, as well as to free light, occluded light and heavy fractions. The heavy fraction was further split into fractions with densities of 1.7–2.4 g cm-3 and >2.4 g cm-3 to testmore »« less
