Abstract
This environmental monitoring program of the Ames Laboratory of the USAEC is the pre-operational program for the Ames Laboratory Research Reactor (ALRR). The pre-operational environmental program consists of gross alpha and beta determinations of air, soil, vegetation, river water, bottom sediment, precipitation, and well water samples. This report includes data for the period January 1, 1965 to December 31, 1965. The data indicate that the ALRR has not been a contributor to environmental radioactivity in the Ames area. The conclusion is reached that radioactivity levels recorded represent background conditions from atmospheric fallout and naturally occurring radioactivity.
