In response to a reported spill from the Cameco uranium refinery on 16-17 May 1990, a soil and vegetation sampling program was carried out to determine the levels of uranium. The company estimated that 183 kg of uranium were released. The sampling program took place on 29 May 1990 using the seven permanent sample plot locations previously established and one other site to better represent the area to the northeast of the refinery. At each location, tripartite samples of surface soil and foliage from trembling aspen were collected. The suspended particulate monitor results for 17 May 1990 are also summarized in the report.
