The Determination of the Quantity of Radioactivity Contained in a Gaseous Effluent at the Nevada Test Site Using Gamma Dose-Rate Measurements

Abstract

Effluent documentation may be simply stated as the determination of the radioactive materials contained in an effluent release. The quality of the effluent is usually determined by detailed laboratory analyses, whereas the quantitative determinations are the results of relatively simple calculations made at the time of release. This paper will concern itself only with the quantitative determinations presently used to arrive at effluent release estimates.
