| Summary: | A vegetation study at the Comanche Peak Steam Electric although, were found to be statistically different. This and 1992. The CPSES is a commercial nuclear power plant and evergreen foliage at CPSES. Soil 117CS concentrations and soil samples were dried and homogenized for analysis. and statistically compared. The mean values of the 137CS broadleaf samples -currently collected. This study may be climate and local limestone geology, have produced a dry collected in close proximity to broadleaf samples. The leaf collected on and off CPSES. Evergreen leaf samples were collection would allow the CPSES to better satisfy its compares the environmental concentrations between broadleaf concentration means were also statistically the same and from concentrations are statistically the same, then a concentrations are statistically the same. If the concentrations for each leaf and soil sample were calculated concentrations in broadleaf and evergreen foliage samples current environmental sampling program. A change in foliage determine if the deciduous and evergreen vegetation 137CS dominant tree species.

The study's objective was to from each vegetation location were also compared to the Gamma-ray spectrometry was performed to measure 137Cs in place of milk samples. Few commercial dairies exist in its own population. The foliage and soil populations, leaf type sampled. Broadleaf tree leaf samples were owned and operated by Texas Utilities Electric of Dallas, radioactivity in each leaf and soil sample.
