"Welcome to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Miamisburg Environmental Management Project. We hope you enjoy your tour of the Mound site and that the information provided in this guide will be useful. As you will see as you travel through the site we are in the process of cleaning up the facilities and general site areas involved in five decades of nuclear weapons component production. The vision of the DOE Ohio Field Office is to achieve for all its sites, an environmentally restored end state that serves the needs of the communities, and do so within a decade."--Page 2.
An aerial radiological survey was conducted over areas of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) and the immediate surrounding area, during the period July 7 through 20, 1994. The survey was conducted to measure and map the gamma radiation in the area. This mission was the first aerial radiation survey conducted at WPAFB. In the surveyed area, five small localized sources of gamma radiation were detected which were atypical of naturally-occurring radionuclides. On WPAFB property, these sources included a radiation storage facility in Area B (krypton-85) and an ash pile near the Area C flight line (low energy gamma activity). In the area covered outside WPAFB boundaries, sources included cesium-137 in excess of worldwide fallout over a landfill in a northern Dayton industrial area, an X-ray radiography source over a steel plant in the same industrial area, and a mixture of cesium-137 in excess of worldwide fallout and possibly iridium-192 in an area near Crystal Lakes, Ohio. The naturally-occurring gamma emitters (uranium-238 and progeny, thorium and progeny, and potassium-40) were detected in the remaining area with a total exposure rate range of 4 to 16 [mu]R/h; this range is typical of that found in the United States, 1 to 20 [mu]R/h.
