Abstract

The 1980 environmental surveillance report for the Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC) of the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory contains data and discussions about routine radiological monitoring of the atmospheric, hydrologic, and geologic environments of the RWMC. Included are discussions of selected nonradiological pollutants (e.g., chloride). It is concluded that RWMC operations have produced localized effects on existing environments. Additional discussions include results of routine surveillance of two surplus facilities, the Stationary Low-Power Reactor No. 1 Surplus Area and the Organic Moderated Reactor Experiment.
