Environmental survey at the A.A.E.C. Research Establishment, Lucas Heights : results for 1968.

Abstract

This report is a second supplement to AAEC/151 'Results of the Lucas Heights Biological Survey, December 1959 - December 1964;. The results of the environmental survey during 1968 are tabulated and compared with derived maximum permissible concentrations appropriate to the local environment of the A.A.E.C Research Establishment. Radioisotope concentrations attributable to Research Establishment operations were less than one thousandth of the derived maximum permissible concentrations and a calculation of possible doses to members of the local population gives results less than one tenth of one percent of the natural radiation background.
