Abstract:
The purposes of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Environmental Report 2008 are to record Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's (LLNL's) compliance with environmental standards and requirements, describe LLNL's environmental protection and remediation programs, and present the results of environmental monitoring at the two LLNL sites - the Livermore site and Site 300. The report is prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) by LLNL's Environmental Protection Department. Submittal of the report satisfies requirements under DOE Order 231.1A, Environmental Safety and Health Reporting, and DOE Order 5400.5, Radiation Protection of the Public and Environment. The report is distributed electronically and is available at https://saer.lln.gov/, the website for the LLNL annual environmental report. Previous LLNL annual environmental reports beginning in 1994 are also on the website. Some references in the electronic report text are underlined, which indicates that they are clickable links. Clicking on one of these links will open the related document, data workbook, or website that it refers to. The report begins with an executive summary, which provides the purpose of the report and an overview of LLNL's compliance and monitoring results. The first three chapters provide background information: Chapter 1 is an overview of the location, meteorology, and hydrogeology of the two LLNL sites; Chapter 2 is a summary of LLNL's compliance with environmental regulations; and Chapter 3 is a description of LLNL's environmental programs with an emphasis on the Environmental Management System including pollution prevention. The majority of the report covers LLNL's environmental monitoring programs and monitoring data for 2008: effluent and ambient air (Chapter 4); waters, including wastewater, storm water runoff, surface water, rain, and groundwater (Chapter 5); and terrestrial, including soil, sediment, vegetation, foodstuff, ambient radiation, and special status wildlife and plants (Chapter 6). Complete monitoring data, which are summarized in the body of the report, are provided in Appendix A. The remaining three chapters discuss the radiological impact on the public from LLNL operations (Chapter 7), LLNL's groundwater remediation program (Chapter 8), and quality assurance for the environmental monitoring programs (Chapter 9). The report uses Systeme International units, consistent with the federal Metric Conversion Act of 1975 and Executive Order 12770, Metric Usage in Federal Government Programs (1991). For ease of comparison to environmental reports issued prior to 1991, dose values and many radiological measurements are given in both metric and U.S. customary units. A conversion table is provided in the glossary. The report is the responsibility of LLNL's Environmental Protection Department. Monitoring data were obtained through the combined efforts of the Environmental Protection Department; Environmental Restoration Department; Physical and Life Sciences Environmental Monitoring Radiation Laboratory; and the Hazards Control Department.Keywords:

A 2-D oil-field survey and a 3-D environmental study illustrate the problems of collecting and interpretating electromagnetic data in crosshole and surface-to-borehole geometries. The first example employs both methods to map the development of a steam flood in a shallow heavy oil reservoir at the Lost Hills oil field in central California. Measurements were made from observation wells that straddle the steam injector in a plane orthogonal to the regional strike, and from a surface-to-borehole line that extends between the observation boreholes and into an undeveloped portion of the field. In a second example, a crosswell experiment was designed to image 250 000 liters of saltwater injected into a shallow aquifer near the University of California at Berkeley campus. A five-spot well pattern was drilled for the test, and saltwater was injected in the central well at a depth of 30 m. Crosswell data were collected, using all five boreholes, before and after injection. Bias and uncertainty of calibration are at least as important as random noise in these data. The bias can be caused by ground loops, cultural noise, systematic drift, and errors in sensor placement. Repeatability and reciprocity tests can often quantify this measurement error. Imaging schemes also introduce errors through geometrical assumptions. The Lost Hills data were imaged in a 2.5-D model (point sources in 2-D geometry), which appears to represent the background geology well, but begins to break down within the steam injection zone. Although a 3-D code was used to image the data collected at Richmond, artifacts were still present in the image. Subsequent analysis has shown that these are likely due to sensor placement errors as a result of borehole deviations.

The U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are submitting this Characterization Summary Report for the Building 865 study area at LLNL Site 300. This letter report summarizes the results of environmental investigations performed in the Building 865 study area to determine if contamination has been released to the environment as a result of past activities. The results of this remedial investigation are organized into nine sections.

The ''Climatology of Brookhaven National Laboratory 1974 to 1977'' is a supplement to BNL 50466, ''Climatology of Brookhaven National Laboratory 1949 to 1973'' which was prepared from data collected by the Brookhaven Meteorology Group formed in August 1948. This publication updates some meteorological summaries and includes analyses of humidity and solar radiation data not included in the original climatological report. Results are presented in tabular form to facilitate usage. Data are given in the form of frequency distributions, percentage frequency distributions, extremes, ranges, and averages as being most adaptable for further research.

Argonne National Laboratory's need for purchasing computer time from outside sources became acute in March, 1975. Contractual arrangements were established with five organizations for the use of their computing facilities. This document provides the guidelines for the export of batch jobs to the Brookhaven National Laboratory's Computer Facility.

Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) was established in 1947 on the former Army Camp Upton site located in central Long Island, New York. From the very beginning, BNL has monitored the environment on and around the Laboratory site to assess the effects of its operations on the environment. This document summarizes the environmental data collected for the years 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1970. Thus, it fills a gap in the series of BNL annual environmental reports beginning in 1962. The data in this document reflect measurements for those four years of concentrations and/or amounts of airborne radioactivity, radioactivity in streams and ground water, and external radiation levels in the vicinity of BNL. Also included are estimates, made at that time, of BNL`s contribution to radioactivity in the environment. Among the major scientific facilities operated at BNL are the High Flux Beam Reactor, Medical Research Reactor, Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor, Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, and the 60-inch Cyclotron.
