PNNL-Richland Campus Radionuclide Air Emissions Report for Calendar Year 2024

Summary

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Richland campus faces the challenge of safely managing potential radionuclide air emissions from its facilities while complying with stringent federal and state environmental regulations. Their approach involves continuous monitoring and annual reporting of all radionuclide air emissions, including fugitive emissions and radon, to calculate the maximum potential offsite dose to ensure public safety. For calendar year 2024, the report confirms that the PNNL-Richland campus was in full compliance, with the total radiological dose to the maximally exposed individual being 100,000 times lower than the permitted federal and state standards.
