Abstract
The environmental monitoring program initiated at AFP-67 consists of two parts: on-site sampling and off-site sampling. The on-site program provides data on the changes in concentration in the environs and is used for protecting plant personnel from any hazard which might occur. The off-site program provides a continuous record of the fluctuation in background levels and of the effectiveness of the plant radiation controls. The off-site and on-site environmental monitoring programs, consisting of the sampling of soil, vegetation, water, air, animal and marine life, and dose measurements using film, foils, chemical dosimeters and ionization chamber dosimeters, arc discussed.
