Publisher's Synopsis
This NUREG-series publication reports the results of a 2-year information search focused on human interactions with reused soils in the United Sates. This investigation sought to compile information intended to support the formulation and characterization of scenarios related to exposure to residual radioactivity in reused soils. Developed under an interagency agreement between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the National Agricultural Library (NAL) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service, this report documents the process and results of an extensive literature review and focused information search on human contact with soil. This report was issued in June 2000 as Draft NUREG-1725, "Human Interaction with Reused Soil: A Literature Search," to solicit public comments and additional information.
