Series Description: This record series contains compiled reports of water and sediment data from the Clinch River and Popular Creek from 1972 to 1982. Information includes test data, test location, test parameters, measurement unit, and results. Cesium is among the parameters, and is measured in curies per liter (ci/l). Also in the series are additional environmental reports, including the results of aerial surveys of the Oak Ridge area, which document the locations and levels of radioactivity around the vicinity. The reports were created from 1972 to 1982, but were compiled in the latter 1980s, as a result of a request by the Tennessee Department of Health and Environment.
