The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment sponsored a study to reconstruct contaminant doses to the public from operations at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons facility. This analysis of routine releases of plutonium and uranium, the principal radioactive materials used at the plant, was part of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment study. Historical radionuclide monitoring and data handling practices are characterized and uncertainties are quantified. Estimates of the annual release of plutonium and uranium are provided for the period from 1953 to 1989. Off-site airborne concentrations and deposition of plutonium and uranium associated with the releases are estimated, along with the highest doses for off-site populations. The predicted effective doses from the routine release of plutonium and uranium from Rocky Flats for a person residing near the plant boundary between 1953 and 1989 are very small.
科罗拉多州公共卫生与环境部发起了一项研究，旨在重建洛基弗拉茨核武器设施运营过程中公众所接触到的污染物剂量。对该工厂使用的主要放射性物质钚和铀的常规排放进行的分析，是科罗拉多州公共卫生与环境部研究的一部分。对历史放射性核素监测和数据处理实践进行了特征描述，并对不确定性进行了量化。提供了1953年至1989年期间钚和铀的年度排放量估计值。估算了与排放相关的场外空气中钚和铀的浓度以及沉降量，以及场外人群所受的最高剂量。1953年至1989年期间居住在工厂边界附近的人因洛基弗拉茨常规排放钚和铀而预计的有效剂量非常小。
