Series Description: This record series consists of monthly narrative activity reports, weekly liquid waste disposal reports, and ecological and geological surveys. The monthly reports cover personnel changes; summarize major activities, studies, meetings and conferences; and report on research programs. Topics include water decontamination, experiments, beta counting problems, Clinch River monitoring, groundwater movement studies sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), and sewage sludge digestion. The weekly disposal reports are statistical compilations of the number of curies discharged into the settling basin and White Oak Lake. Probable average concentrations in the Clinch River, changes in weekly activity readings, and the amount of plutonium discharged weekly are also included. Results are provided in milligrams (mg), microcuries per cubic centimeter x 10-7 (uc/cc x 10--7), milliroentgen equivalent physical per hour (mrep/hr), millirem per hour (mr/hr), and microgram per cubic centimeter x 10-9 (ug/cc x 10-9).
