Series Description: This series contains environmental and personnel monitoring data for the Mallinckrodt Chemical Works Weldon Spring Plant, the Atomic Energy Commission Quarry Storage, and the Airport Storage Sites.
Environmental monitoring records include quarterly, semi-annual, annual, and progress reports; survey studies; and correspondence concerning water, air, and soil samples analyzed for uranium. The records indicate sampling locations, the number of samples collected, and the frequency of sampling. Measurements of radioactivity are reported in microcuries per cubic centimeter x 107 of the maximum permissible concentration (MPC).
Personnel monitoring data, recorded in quarterly reports, were derived from film badges and urinalyses. Gross beta and gamma measurements from film badges are represented as a percentage of MPC and in millireps (mrep). Other reports provide employee work locations and film badge exposures exceeding 3,000 mrep. Urinalysis reports include concentrations of uranium in milligrams per liter, number of employees sampled, and the percentage of the total work force sampled.
