The report contains the results of the first 58 weeks of the U. S. Army Environmental Monitoring Program for the package power reactor located at Camp Century, Greenland. Alpha and beta activities of snow and water samples are reported in microcuries per milliliter. Similar measurements of air samples are reported in microcuries per cubic centimeter of air. Beta-gamma survey readings of the sampling stations are also included. All observed sample activities were below the maximum permissible concentrations recommended by the Atomic Energy Commission.
