Radiological survey of the area surrounding the Elk River reactor, Elk River, Minnesota. Date of survey: 1, 2 August, 24 September 1968. Technical report No. L-1105
The Aerial Radiological Measuring System (ARMS) was used to survey the area surrounding the Elk River experimental power reactor during Aug. and Sept. 1968. The survey measured terrestrial 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 900 square mile area showing isoexposure contours three feet above the ground. Exposure rates and isotopes identified are consistent with normal terrestrial background radiation. (auth)
