Environmental survey at the AAEC Research Establishment Lucas Heights - results for 1979

Abstract

This report presents the results of the environmental survey at the AAEC Research Establishment Lucas Heights during 1979. They show that the only radioactivity detected which could be of AAECRE origin and which could also be ingested by humans was due to tritium. The maximum credible dose which a member of the public could receive from this radioactivity is calculated to be one ten thousandth of the derived working limit consistent with the latest recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection.
