Annual Reviews of Radiological Controls (1975 - 1988)

During the later half of Area IV's operational R&D period, an annual report was prepared on radiological controls in the workplace. These annual reports served as the workplace equivalent to the Annual Site Environmental Reports(ASERs). The reports reviewed and summarized workplace controls, internal and external exposure control, radiological air monitoring, incidents, facility enfluents, environmental monitoring, etc. The annual reports are provided below.
