Radiological Survey of Pajarito Site (Technical Area 18) for the Manhattan Project Historical Park
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
Environmental Protection Compliance-Environmental Stewardship (EPC-ES) has evaluated radiological process history and all measurement data and found: (1) soil and interior surface sampling meet the data quality objectives contained in MARSSIM (2000) and MARSAME (2009), as reflected in LANL procedures (LANL 2015a, 2015b), (2) that the interiors of the Slotin Building, Pond Cabin and Battleship Bunker were within surface contamination limits for unrestricted access, and (3) the soils around the Slotin Building, Pond Cabin and Battleship Bunker are below Screening Action Levels for both construction work and recreational use (LANL 2016). Therefore, public access inside the Slotin Building and to the outside areas surrounding the Slotin Building, Pond Cabin and Battleship Bunker area are not restricted. This finding is consistent with the requirements of DOE Order 458.1 “Radiation Protection of the Public and the Environment” (DOE 2013) and LANL procedure “Environmental Radiation Protection” (LANL 2018).
