Description/Abstract:
THIS DOCUMENT IS THE THIRD PROGRESS REPORT ON THE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOIODINE TESTS AT THE IDAHO OPERATIONS OFFICE OF THE US ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION'S NUCLEAR REACTOR TESTING STATION. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS INCLUDED: " THE EMERGENCE OF NUCLEAR REACTORS AS COMPETITIVE ALTERNATES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY HAS GIVEN NEW IMPETUS TO THE SOLUTION OF QUESTIONS REGARDING THE BEHAVIOR OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT. THE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOIODINE TESTS ( CERT ) PROGRAM CONSISTS OF FIELD RELEASES OF VARIOUS CHEMICAL SPECIES OF RADIOIODINE OVER DIFFERENT TYPES OF VEGETATION AND DURING VARIOUS METEORLOGICAL CONDITIONS. DATA COLLECTED FROM THESE RELEASES ARE BEING USED TO DERIVE EMPIRICAL MODELS THAT DESCRIBE THE MOVEMENT OF IODINE THROUGH THE AIR-VEGETATION-COW-MILK- HUMAN CHAIN. THIS THIRD PROGRESS REPORT CONTAINS INFORMATION GATHERED DURING 1966 AS WELL AS A COMPILATION OF DATA RELATING TO AND INCLUDING THE DEPOSITION OF I-2 AND CH3I OVER A WIDE RANGE OF METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS.
