DESCRIPTION OF AERIAL RADIOLOGICAL SURVEY METHODS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4324292
Three aerial radiological survey methods, which have been used in connection with nuclear weapons tests, are discussed. The helicopter-to-ground method is the only one which provides the same degree of accuracy as ground survey. It is especially adapted for accurate short-range survey work. The standard-equipment method requires a minimum or preparation and equipment and may be suitable for certain situations where rather large errors may be tolerated. The long-range method is best suited for rapid surveys of large areas when only the general level and extent of fallout radiation are desired. (auth)
