The Aerial Radiological Measuring System (ARMS) was used to survey the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant and surrounding area during Sept. 1970. The survey measured terrestrial background gamma radiation and included a plume track of the stack release gases. A high-sensitivity detection system collected gamma spectral and gross-count data. The data were then computer processed into a map of a 277 sq. mile area showing isoexposure contours 3 ft above ground. Results indicated the presence of isotopes normally found in the background radiation throughout the United States. The plume track revealed no radiation above backgrouad levels. (auth)
