Series Description: This record series consists of weekly analyses of inlet and outlet water samples from the White Oak Dam and Settling Basin. Gamma activity in the water is reported in tabular form in milliroentgens/hour (mr/hr), counts/minute (c/m), and milliroentgens/hour/liter (mr/hr/l). The series also contains correspondence suggesting tolerance levels for radioactivity discharged in the Clinch River. Some reports also describe studies conducted on dead fish found near the settling basin.

Data Elements: 103, 118
