摘要：

The Savannah River Site has produced plutonium, tritium, and other special nuclear materials for national defense, other government programs, and some civilian purposes. Radiocesium, a waste product, has been released to the environment during the operation of five reactors, two radiochemical processing facilities, and a high-level waste storage system. During the period 1955-1989, 130 GBq of Cs-137 was released to the atmosphere and 2.2 x 10(4) GBq was released to site streams and ponds. Approximately 65% of the latter remained on the site. The maximum individual effective dose equivalent at the site boundary was estimated to be 3.3 mu SY from atmospheric releases and 600 mu Sv from liquid releases. The 80-km population dose was 1.6 person-Sv.
