Environmental Monitoring Plan for Airborne Radioactivity from Fugitive and Diffuse Sources, Oak Ridge, Tennessee (PDF)(15 pp, 1 MB,
September 1992)
This document was prepared to outline DOE's plan to use a network of ambient air monitors to confirm that radionuclide emissions from fugitive and diffuse sources, as an aggregate, do not produce off-site atmospheric radionuclide concentrations that significantly contribute to reported radiation doses to the public.
