Series Description: The Stack Monitoring Records consist of worksheets and computer-generated reports indicating the levels of radioactivity in stack effluent air samples, mostly collected from Buildings 707, 729, and 782. The worksheets, titled Alpha Activity Concentration Sheets (Air Sampling), provide levels of alpha radiation in pCi/m3 [picocuries per cubic meter] and in DPM [disintegrations per minute]. The computer-generated reports were apparently testing stack air for plutonium and americium contamination. Data on these reports include sample and detector numbers, spectrum file names, sample volumes, aliquots analyzed, and radioactivity (in DPM). A handwritten log details results of beryllium sampling in total milligrams. Accession Number 434-93-0001 has summary tables of stack releases in 1975 listing the specific release points for emissions with high plutonium concentrations and what those concentrations were.
