Environmental Radiation Gamma Radiation Readings for West Valley Site: Beginning 1995

This chart shows Gamma Radiation measurements for the West Valley site compared to background measurements collected. Note that the results for the "Fence Line at Waste Area" location are elevated compared to other locations. Elevated radiation levels are expected at this monitoring location due to its proximity to a High Level Radioactive Waste Storage Facility. This is an on-site location. Access to this location is controlled by the site operator. Based on historical data and changes in site activities, monitoring at several locations was discontinued in July 2012 and going forward. Present locations monitored, in addition to the "Fence Line at Waste Area," are "Rock Spring Road" and "Springville-Erie County." Monitoring for this location was done in 1995 only. If a grey broken column appears, this means data was not collected for that instance. You will need to scroll through the table information to find the comment that will give additional information. Please note that this program is not designed, or intended to monitor releases from discharge points at a specific facility (e.g., a stack). The facility operator performs this type of monitoring to meet the requirements of its licensing agency (e.g., a federal agency or the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation).

本图表展示了西谷（West Valley）场址的γ辐射（Gamma Radiation）测量结果，并与采集的本底测量值进行对比。请注意，与其他监测点位相比，“废物区域围栏线（Fence Line at Waste Area）”点位的测量结果偏高。由于该监测点位紧邻高水平放射性废物储存设施（High Level Radioactive Waste Storage Facility），其辐射水平偏高属于预期情况。该点位为场址内监测点，其出入权限由场址运营方管控。基于历史数据及场址活动变化，自2012年7月起，多个监测点位的监测工作已终止并持续至今。当前需监测的点位除“废物区域围栏线（Fence Line at Waste Area）”外，还包括“岩泉路（Rock Spring Road）”与“斯普林维尔-伊利县（Springville-Erie County）”，其中“斯普林维尔-伊利县（Springville-Erie County）”点位仅在1995年开展过监测工作。若图表中出现灰色断裂柱形，则代表该时刻未采集到有效数据。您可通过滚动查看表格信息，获取附带的补充说明内容。请注意，本监测项目并非为监测特定设施排放点（例如烟囱）的放射性释放而设计，亦无此意图。设施运营方需开展此类监测，以满足其发证监管机构（例如联邦机构或纽约州环境保护部（New York State Department of Environmental Conservation））的相关要求。如需了解更多信息，请访问http://www.nyhealth.gov/radiation。“关于”标签页包含本数据集的更多详细信息。
