Radon Mitigation Effort Completed on Guam (May 1998)

A major effort to conduct mitigation of radon hazard in facilities on Guam was completed in March 1998. This effort was led by David L. Wilson the Life Sciences Division's Assessment Technology Section and was funding by the U.S. Navy. A total of 119 facilities with initially measured radon levels greater than 20 pCi/L were mitigated over a five-week period beginning in February. This effort is the largest radon mitigation program conducted at one time to date. (Contact: D. L. Wilson, 435-3765 or dvw@ornl.gov
