Page 67 - Navy conducts environmental monitoring in harbors frequented by its nuclear-powered ships. Environmental monitoring surveys for radioactivity are periodically performed in harbors where US Naval nuclearpowered ships are built or overhauled and where these ships have home ports or operating bases.
Page 114 - Navy issued procedures prohibiting sea disposal of solid radioactive materials. Shipyards and other shore facilities are not permitted to dispose of radioactive solid wastes by burial on their own sites. Table 3 summarizes total radioactivity and volumes of radioactive solid waste disposal for the last five years.
Page 72 - Naval nuclear-powered ships and support facilities have not caused a measurable increase in the general background radioactivity of the environment. 4. Low-level cobalt 60 radioactivity in harbor bottom sediment is detectable around a few piers at operating bases and shipyards from low level liquid releases in the 1960's.
Page 108 - SUMMARY The radioactivity in wastes discussed in this report originates in the pressurized water reactors of US Naval nuclear-powered ships. As of the end of 1982, the US Navy had 124 nuclear-powered submarines and thirteen nuclear-powered surface ships in operation.

Page 111 - The fission gases krypton and xenon are also retained within the fuel elements. However, trace quantities of naturally occurring uranium impurities in reactor structural materials release small amounts of fission products to reactor coolant. The concentrations of fission products and the volumes of reactor coolant released are so low, however, that the total radioactivity attributed to long-lived fission product radionuclides, strontium 90 and cesium 137, in releases from US Naval nuclear-powered...
