A review of the highlights and accomplishments of the nine-year program, FY 1967-75, at ORNL on the evaluation of the radiological exposure from Plowshare applications is presented. Conclusions based on the studies sumnarized here are given. Chronological lists of presentations, reports and open literature publications on the various investigations of the program are appended to the report. INTRODUCTION The program in the Environmental Sciences Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to evaluate radiological exposure resulting from Plowshare applications was terminated at the end of FY 1975. It seems appropriate, therefore, to review the accomplishments of this program which first received funding in FY 1967 from the Division of Peaceful Nuclear Explosives (DPNE), later part of the Division of Applied Technology of the AEC prior to formation of ERDA. This report updates and expands an unpublished report prepared in November 1972. Several events occurring between 1959 and 1966 actually set the stage for this contract. The first event took place in 1959 when L. C. Emerson, an ORNL health physicist, published an article (Nuclear Safety, 1, December 1959, pp. 49-52) discussing the relative importance of radionuclides produced by Plowshare detonations. Over the next several years several ORNL health physicists, notably E. G. Struxness,
