ORGDP uranium discharges

This report provides the quantities of uranium released from ORGDP and the available data on uranium concentrations in the environment. Since 1946, a total of 15.6 curies of radioactivity have been released into the air, 14.3 into water, and 33.7 buried in solid waste. Concentrations in air and water have been well below applicable guidelines. A Calculation of potential health effects (fatal cancers) shows that about 0.14 is expected to occur. It is unlikely that this effect has or will occur as a result of these releases. Appendixes A and B discuss the implications of these results and the regulatory guidelines, respectively.
