This report presents the sampling and analytical results for chemical constituents for soils potentially impacted by the reconstruction of the intersection at New Mexico (NM) State Road 4 (NM 4) and East Jemez Road (NM State Road 502 [NM 502]).
Presentation at the 67th Annual Meeting of Health Physics Society, 17–21 July 2022; Spokane, WA - https://hps.org/meetings/meeting53.html
This report presents the environmental dose assessment methods and the estimated potential doses to the public from 2021 Savannah River Site (SRS) air and liquid radioactive releases. Also documented are potential doses from special-case exposure scenarios, such as the consumption of wildlife or goat milk.

On May 2, 2019, a sealed radioactive source containing cesium-137 was breached at the University of Washington Harborview Research and Training (HRT) Building in downtown Seattle while attempting to recover the source for the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA’s) Off-site Source Recovery Program (OSRP). The breach of the source resulted in the contamination of personnel, large sections of the building, and a release of material to the local environment.
Environmental Protection and Compliance, Environmental Stewardship (EPC-ES) has determined that only a portion of the soil associated with the Diamond Drive Widening/Roundabout Projects (Figure 1) meets the criteria for unrestricted release to the public under Department of Energy (DOE) Order 458.1, Radiation Protection for the Public and the Environment (DOE, 2020). The remaining soil did not meet the criteria for unrestricted release and must be managed appropriately. These conclusions are based on the known history of the area combined with soil sample data collected in 2022; the findings are consistent with DOE Order 458.1 and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Functional Series Document EPC-ES-FSD-004, Environmental Radiation Protection (LANL, 2021). Sampling and data analysis, as described in this report, were sufficient to meet measurement quality objectives (MQOs) under the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Assessment of Materials and Equipment (MARSAME) manual (NUREG, 2009) and LANL procedures (LANL, 2020). Final approvals for waste disposition will come from LANL’s Waste Management Program.
This environmental calculation file (ECF) summarizes the groundwater pathway exposure assumptions and methodologies used to revise radionuclide specific unit dose factors (UDFs) published in CP-64491, Hanford Site Composite Analysis Data Package – Exposure Scenarios and Radionuclide Specific Dose Conversion Factors. Specifically, this ECF describes the updated exposure-related parameters used to calculate radionuclide specific UDFs based on recommendations from the Low-Level Waste Disposal Facility Federal Review Group (LFRG) and updates to Adult External DCFs included in EPA 402-R-93-081, External Exposure to Radionuclides in Air, Water, and Soil hereinafter called Federal Guidance Report [FGR]).

The effect of psychosocial factors after a disaster is well acknowledged. They can manifest in many ways including policy decisions, increased medical problems due to stress, avoidance behavior, and lessened trust. These can have direct economic effects, including increased medical costs, decreased tourism, de facto boycotts of product, and delated remedial actions due to delayed decision making.

Emergency and incident response planning requires a detailed plan be in place. Each incident may be unique, and no plan can be expected to give an exact solution to every problem; however, a step-by-step approach for responding to a problem will ensure appropriate response.

Standard first aid is applied before contamination control whenever it is considered to have life-saving value or is important to the patient for the relief of pain or prevention of disability. It is the obligation of all who assist a patient to render such aid within the limits of their training and qualifications.
Environmental Protection and Compliance, Environmental Stewardship (EPC-ES) has determined that only a portion of the soil associated with Replacement Water Lines from Technical Area (TA)-48 to TA55 (Figure 1) meets the criteria for unrestricted release to the public under Department of Energy (DOE) Order 458.1, Radiation Protection for the Public and the Environment (DOE, 2020). The remaining soil did not meet the criteria for unrestricted release and must be managed appropriately.
