Series Description: This record series contains the results of mud surveys conducted during the first quarter of 1945 for fission product activity in White Oak Creek, White Oak Dam and Settling Pond, White Oak Lake, and the Clinch River. Illustrations indicate locations for each sample. Beta and gamma activity results are expressed in measurements of microcuries per gram and microcuries per gram corrected (uc/gm), counts per minute (c/m), and counts per minute per gram (c/m/gm). Tests were not run for individual fission products. Discussions of sampling procedures address issues such as the changing boundaries of the lake due to rising and falling water levels.
