USDA RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING HANDBOOK. Agriculture Handbook No. 246
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4084640
Procedures are described for the monitoring of radiological fallout on agricultural and forest lands; in water used for agricultural purposes, livestock, meat and poultry; and commodities stored or harvestable on farms and ranches. Radiological monitoring includes identifying radiation, measuring its intensity, interpreting radiological data, and helping to develop defense plans that will prevent or alleviate damage and injury from excessive radiation. It is pointed out that the levels of radiation associated with fallout from nuclear weapons testing are so low that civil defense instruments now available are unable to measure accurately the resulting degree of contamination.
