Radioactive particle resuspension research experiments on the Hanford Reservation

Authors: Sehmel, G. A.;

Radioactive particle resuspension research experiments on the Hanford Reservation

Abstract

Experiments were conducted from 1972 to 1975 at several Hanford Reservation study sites to determine whether radioactive particles from these sites were resuspended and transported by wind and to determine, if possible, any interrelationships between wind speed, direction, airborne soil, and levels of radioactivity on airborne particles. Samples of airborne particles were collected with high volume air samplers and cascade particle impactors using both upwind and downwind air sampling towers. Most samples were analyzed for /sup 137/Cs; some samples were analyzed for /sup 239/Pu, /sup 238/Pu and /sup 241/Am; a few samples were analyzed for /sup 90/Sr. This report summarizes measured air concentration ranges for these radionuclides at the study sites and compares air concentrations with fallout levels measured in 300 Area near the Reservation boundary.
