Series Description: This record series consists of six progress reports and associated supplements documenting the work of the Clinch River Study Steering Committee. The reports summarize the fate of radionuclides released and dispersed into the Clinch River and evaluate current disposal practices and the usefulness of the river for disposal of radioactive waste. They provide information on hydrologic and biological studies, sampling procedures and analytical results, radionuclide dispersal, sedimentary deposition, dilution effects, human exposure to radionuclides, and hazard evaluations. Strontium-90, cesium-137, cobalt-60, and ruthenium-106 are the chief contaminants. Cesium concentrations are expressed in picocuries per liter (pCi/l). Tables also show the concentration of radionuclides at various positions along the waterway. Waterflow data and maps of the sampling locations along the 21-mile stretch of the Clinch River are given.

Data Elements: 69, 103, 118-119, 124
