LRAD soil surface contamination monitor test and demonstration at the Savannah River Site
The Savannah River Site (SRS) Solid Waste Management (SWM) organization requested Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) / Analytical Development Section (ADS) assistance in evaluating a Long Range Alpha Detector (LRAD) as a soil surface contamination monitor. Solid Waste Management also contracted TMA NcClean to bring the equipment to SRS and to operate it during the demonstration. For the demonstration, we measured LRAD signals above different surface materials including asphalt, concrete, clay soil, sandy soil, gravel, and a plywood sheet. This report describes the tests conducted at SRTC in the period August 22, 1995 through August 24, 1995. In order to put the data that were acquired in these tests in perspective, the physical principals on which LRAD is based are discussed.
