Visits by Nuclear Powered Warships to Australian Ports; Report on Radiation Monitoring During 1986
Abstract
Nuclear powered warships (NPWs) of the United States Navy visited Australia on five occasions during 1986. The Commonwealth Government requires that a radiation monitoring program be carried out in association with such visits to detect any release of radioactivity to the port or its environs. This report represents a summary of the objectives and requirements of the NPW radiation monitoring program, describes the implementation of the program for visits during 1986 and records the results of radiation measurements taken in the ports visited. No releases of radioactive material were detected, nor were any radiation measurements recorded in excess of background levels of ionizing radiation either during or subsequent to these visits.
