Re: Soil Criteria

Chris,

See my comments below if you're looking for background data:

Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued a 3 volume set in 1993 entitled: Final
Report on the Background Soil Characterization Project at the Oak Ridge
Reservation, Oak Ridge, Tennessee (DOE/OR/01-1175).  I'm not sure if its
available on the web or not.

DOE published a report entitled: Hanford Site Background: Part 2, Soil
Background for Radionuclides (DOE/RL-96-12).  It is one of numerous reports
that can be found at:         http://www.BHI-ERC.com/library/doe_rl.htm

You might also want to check with the following for DOE reports at the
following locations:
US Department of Commerce:
National Technical Information Service
5285 Port Royal Road
Springfield, VA 22161

Good luck,,,,,

Radsafers:

I'm trying to put together a comparison of criteria for radionuclides and
metals in soil around the world.  What I have at hand are criteria from:
 - the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy;
 - the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks, and;
 - the Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment.

I'd appreciate any references anyone can send me.  I am particularly
interested in what I can get on the web as my time to do research is very
short.
