At the request of the US Department of Energy (DOE), a group from Oak Ridge National Laboratory conducted investigative radiological surveys at the Copperweld Steel Company, 4000 Mahoning Avenue, NW, Warren, Ohio (CWO001) in 1988. The purpose of the surveys was to determine whether the property was contaminated with radioactive residues, principally {sup 238}U, derived from the former Manhattan Engineer District (MED) project. The surveys included gamma scans; direct and removable measurements of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation levels; and floor debris sampling for radionuclide analyses. Results of the survey demonstrated no radionuclide concentrations in excess of the DOE Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program guidelines for radium, thorium, and uranium. The radionuclide distributions were not significantly different from normal background levels in the Ohio area. 7 refs., 11 figs., 3 tabs.
