Radiation Releases At Record Low At Savannah River Site
The Savannah River Site reports a record low radioactive release for 1992 due to limited production. Tritium emissions declined as no reactors operated since 1988, with 156000 curies of tritium and 6000.9 curies of plutonium released to air. Groundwater seepage accounts for most radioactivity entering the groundwater, prompting calls for stronger environmental restoration.
