Series Description: This record series consists of weekly and bi-weekly reports concerning the monitoring of airborne radioactivity in the 706-D area, where RaLa was produced. Information includes radiation surveys and monitoring data associated with RaLa production runs; personnel radiation monitoring associated with maintenance and repair work; and incidents and accidents occurring in the area. Air monitoring activities involved airborne releases of Iodine-131. The reports also discuss efforts to reduce radiation in the workplace and to improve working conditions. Sites monitored include the settling basin and the tank farm. Survey and monitoring results are expressed in counts per minute (c/m), counts per hour (c/h), milliroentgens (mr), milliroentgens/hour (mr/hr), and roentgens/hour (r/hr). The reports include tables.

Data Elements: 8, 31, 62, 81, 89, 103, 119, 122, 124
