RAIS Paducah Background Values

The Paducah Background Values (https://rais.ornl.gov/tools/pgdp_background.html) are from Methods for Conducting Risk Assessments and Risk Evaluations at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Volume 1, Human Health, which sought to establish provisional background values for groundwater and soil. These values were developed by considering agreements reached between the DOE and the regulatory agencies during comment resolution meetings, in the Federal Facility Agreement, and at technical meetings. The Paducah background concentrations are available for soil (surface and subsurface) and groundwater (filtered and unfiltered).
