Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility U.S. Department of Energy 12000 Jefferson Avenue Newport News, VA 23606 JEFFERSON LAB SITE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT For Calendar Year 2002 Prepared by: SURA/Jefferson Lab Office of Assessment EHS Reporting August 2003 JEFFERSON LAB SITE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTFOR CALENDAR YEAR 2002 Executive Summary Purpose This report presents the results of environmental activities and monitoring programs at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, known as Jefferson Lab, for calendar year 2002. The objective of this annual Site Environmental Report is to document Jefferson Lab’s active environmental protection program. The report provides the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the public with information on radioactive and non-radioactive pollutants, if any, added to the environment as a result of operations at Jefferson Lab. The report also summarizes environmental programs, initiatives, and assessments that were undertaken in 2002. Jefferson Lab’s main purpose is to make available a research facility to support the nuclear physics community and the nation. The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Lab provides an electron beam to three experimental halls, where a variety of physics experiments are conducted. Correlative programs where environmental protection is also considered are: the Free Electron Laser (FEL); Superconducting Radiofrequency (SRF) research and development; and, cryomodule development for the DOE’s Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project. Major Site Programs CEBAF: The accelerator continued to deliver polarized electron beams at energies up to nearly 6 GeV (billion electron volts) to meet a variety of needs of experimenters in Halls A, B, and C. By the end of calendar year 2002, Jefferson Lab had completed 66 experiments and partially completed another 34. Major experiments were conducted in all three halls during 2002, as well a
