Abstract: A study was conducted at Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. to: (a) characterize the stack tritium effluent in the gaseous and water vapor forms, during normal plant operations, (b) determine the weekly average tritium air concentrations at five selected sites around the plant over a 4-month period, (c) evaluate methods used for sampling at the stack and in the environment, and (d) estimate the dose to the population in the immediate vicinity of the plant from tritium stack effluents. Data for the five air sampling stations around the site indicate that the plant contribution to the atmosphere is small.
