Integrated Air Activity Derived Response Levels for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's Air Monitoring Stations

Hunt, Brian D.; Kraus, Terrence D.

This report was developed to help the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency understand the radionuclide detection requirements necessary to establish air monitoring systems that can detect airborne radionuclide activity at levels that could warrant protective actions.. The report provides representative integrated air activity derived response levels that correspond to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's protective action guidelines for the Early Phase (0-96 h) following a release to the environment. Environmental releases from nuclear fallout, nuclear power plants, and radiological dispersal devices are considered.
