Originating Office: Analytical Chemistry Division, Low Level Radiochemical Analysis Laboratory Finding Aids: Records Center "BLUREC" Database Disposition AuthorityUnscheduled Series Description: This record series consists of Low-Level Radiochemical Analysis Laboratory files. The filing system is numerical and ranges from 1041 to 16186. Documents include "Request for Analytical Services"; "Results of Analysis," usually in the form of a computer printout; a "VAX/VMS Low-Level Radiochemical Analysis Report"; proportional counting worksheets; and analytical worksheets. Earlier files may contain "Analytical Chemistry Data - Low Level Radiochemistry Analyses." Information consists of the Analytical Chemistry request number, the project number, the series, the customer's name and location or department, sample identification numbers, frequency, material description, sample date and time, analytes to be tested for, detectors used, detection limits, quantity or volume of sample, elapsed time, and results. Depending on the matrix and the analyses conducted, results may be expressed in counts per minute, counts per second, becquerels per kilogram (Bq/Kg), or becquerel per liter (Bq/l). Matrices include water, air, fish tissue, oil, sediment, milk, stack filters, soil, well water, and vegetation. Samples originate from Solid Waste Storage Area 6, Waste Area Groups 1 and 7, and from buildings and sites throughout the Oak Ridge Reservation. Analyses conducted include gross alpha, gross beta, cesium-137, iodine-131, iodine-133, iodine-129, lead, plutonium-238, plutonium-239, uranium-234, uranium-235, uranium-238, thorium-228, total strontium, and carbon-14.
