Environmental aspects of the June 16, 1995 tritium release from the Savannah River Site
On June 16, 995 approximately 10,700 Ci of elemental tritium (HT) were released through a 200 ft stack during a welding operation in H-area while stainless steel containers were being prepared for burial. The workers immediately evacuated the room and H-area personnel were instructed to remain indoors for 30 minutes. The dose at the site boundary was calculated with the WINDS system atmospheric transport model to be 3x10{sup -6} mrem, a value one-hundred million times smaller than the yearly average dose for SRS area (300 mrem). The plume moved in a west south-west direction and crossed the Savannah River into Georgia about
