Evaluation of nuclear gas stimulation in terms of potential radiation exposure to the public

Experience gained from Projects Gasbuggy and Rulison and their follow-up studies indicates that natural gas produced from a nuclearly stimulated well field will contain small amounts of man-made radioactivity as it leaves the gas processing plant and enters commercial distribution channels. Individual and population doses have been estimated for hypothetical uses of such gas. risk and In the assessment relative in The studies summarized show that the radiological impact of or industrial use of the can be
