Data on the reports include sample types; reasons for sampling; results (in variable units); and methods or equipment used for the analysis, including gas chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, and alpha spectrometry. Materials analyzed included waste oil; raw and treated waste; surface, laundry, reservoir, pond, and waste water; air from air cylinders; miscellaneous steel bars and machinery parts; liquid argon systems; routine building air and water samples; and many more. In addition to sampling for radioactivity and contaminants, the laboratory analyzed substances, especially metals, to insure that they met the purity standards outlined in government or plant specifications. The laboratory also tested the atomic absorption of various elements in different metals and water. Analytical Reports from 1985 through 1989 were generated by the Automated Information System.
