Aerial radiological survey of the Oak Ridge Reservation, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Date of survey: June 1980
An aerial radiological survey of the Oak Ridge Reservation was conducted during June 1980. The survey consisted of airborne measurements of both natural and man-made gamma radiation from the terrain surface in and around the Oak Ridge Reservation. These measurements allowed a determination of the terrestrial spatial distribution of isotopic concentrations and equivalent gamma ray exposure rates from /sup 60/Co, /sup 234m/Pa, and /sup 137/Cs. The results are reported as isopleths for the isotopes and are superimposed on scaled maps of the area. Gamma ray energy spectra are also presented for the net man-made radioelements. This was the third aerial radiological survey of the entire Oak Ridge Reservation. The earlier surveys were conducted in 1973 and 1974. All areas of man-made activity were in the same location as indicated by the results of the earlier surveys. It appears that no detectable new man-made activity has been released in the survey area since the 1973 and 1974 surveys. 3 references, 30 figures, 5 tables.
