Series Description: This 2-volume bound report summarizes the environmental activities and status for the entire Oak Ridge Reservation. Air, soil, ground and surface water, and biological monitoring (especially for radioactivity) are discussed, as are water management, quality assurance, and special activities. Annual emissions of radioactive elements (e.g., cesium, iodine, xenon, krypton) are recorded, and monitoring locations at all three sites and some offsite areas are noted. Measurement units vary, but are generally picocuries per liter or per gram (pCi/l or pCi/g). Potential radiation doses to the public are also covered in the report.

Data Elements: 89, 103, 117, 118, 124
