Evaluation of Possible Radioactivity Transport in Groundwater (open access)

Evaluation of Possible Radioactivity Transport in Groundwater

"The possibility of radioactivity transport in the groundwater system as the result of a hypothetical maximum credible gas leak was evaluated." "The present study confirms the low radiation levels in the groundwater predicted in the initial calculations." (from Summary)

Rio Blanco Hydrologic Testing Through January 30, 1973 (open access)

Rio Blanco Hydrologic Testing Through January 30, 1973

"CER Geonuclear has developed, in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, a set of detailed plans utilizing nuclear explosives for an underground engineering experiment called project Rio Blanco. The overall objective is to prove the commercial feasibility of using nuclear explosives to recover commercial quantities of tightly held natural gas in the Piceance Basin."

Report on airborne radioactivity surveys and the uranium deposits in the Red River region of Texas and Oklahoma (open access)

Report on airborne radioactivity surveys and the uranium deposits in the Red River region of Texas and Oklahoma

The U. S. Atomic Energy Commission conducted an airborne radioactivity survey of the Red River region of Texas and Oklahoma beginning in December 1955 and ending in May 1956. All or parts of Archer, Clay, and Montague Counties in northern Texas and Carter, Cotton, Jefferson, and Stephens Counties in southern Oklahoma were surveyed. Particular attention was paid to those areas where exposures are found of red beds of the Permian Wichita Group. Field examinations were conducted of anomalies discovered by airborne reconnaissance as well as those reported by private individuals. Forty localities were examined, the majority in sandstones, siltstones, or conglomerates. Uranium and copper minerals were identified at several localities. Ferruginous staining, bleaching of the sandstone color, calcium carbonate cement, and carbonized plant remains are common to the deposits

The Potential Radiological Implications of Nuclear Facilities in the Upper Mississippi River Basin in the Year 2000: The Year 2000 Study (open access)

The Potential Radiological Implications of Nuclear Facilities in the Upper Mississippi River Basin in the Year 2000: The Year 2000 Study

From introduction: This study considered the region comprising the Upper Mississippi and Lower Missouri River basins and to assess the contributions to the radiation potentially received by the populace from airborne radionuclides originating in adjacent areas, an "air envelope" zone, some 200 miles wide.
