Aerial radiological measuring survey of the area surrounding the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Monticello, Minnesota, August 1970
The Aerial Radiological Measuring System (ARMS) was used to survey the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant and surrounding area during Aug. 1970. The survey measured terrestrial background gamma radiation. A high-sensitivity detection system collected gamma spectral and gross-count data. The data were then computer processed into a map of a 625 sq. mile area showing isoexposure contours 3 ft above the ground. Results indicated the presence of isotopes normally found in the background radiation throughout the United States. (auth)
