Recent information indicates that radioactive material from the Chernobyl reactor accident is now near the United States coast at about 30,000 feet.
The most likely means of identifying any fallout from that material over the US will be through precipitation samples. EPA has requested that we ask NRC licensees to provide whatever data they may obtain on rain samples.
rPA's sampling network emphasizes air, milk and water sampling and is not strong on precipitation measurements. Tharefore, in order to supplement this existing network, we are asking NRC licensees, if at all possible, to collect precipitation samples, analyze them and report the results to the NRC Operations Center as promptly as possible in accordance with IN B6 3 2.,
which was previously sent to each nuclear power reactor licensee.
