Uranium mining by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in Colorado, 1958. Uranium mining expanded dramatically in the United States after World War II, from 38,000 tons in 1948 to 5.2 million tons in 1958—nearly all of it for nuclear weapons production. SOURCE: USDOE Office of Environmental Management.

Regulation and Oversight of Uranium Mining, Processing, Reclamation, and Long-Term Stewardship.

Washington (DC): National Academies Press (US); 2011 Dec 19.
FIGURE I.B.1

Locations of atmospheric nuclear-weapons detonations where military personnel may have been exposed to radiation. A few additional high-altitude air blasts were conducted at sites in the south Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and two underwater tests that resulted in exposures to naval personnel were conducted in the Pacific off the southern California coast (DOE, 2000).

Measurements of gross beta and iodine-131 activity in air samples at the Fermi plant (located in Michigan) from 1979 to 2007. The measurements are sensitive enough to detect air emissions from Chinese nuclear weapons testing in the early 1980s and the Chernobyl accident in 1986. SOURCE: Detroit Edison (2007).

FIGURE A-1

Atmospheric CO₂ (Northern Hemisphere).
Change in values of¹⁴C for atmospheric CO₂ since 1959. The rise from values near zero results from atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons. The decline from peak values reached in late 1963 results from the exchange of CO₂ between the atmosphere and ocean. As a result of this exchange, levels of¹⁴C in the ocean have slowly risen. The gap in the curve between 1973 and 1976 is due to a lack of atmospheric data for 1974 and 1975.
