Sevart, M D

The Aerial Radiological Measuring System (ARMS), operated for the US Atomic Energy Commission, was used to perform aerial surveys of several operational and non-operations reactor sites during the summer months of 1968. The data collected on the these surveys included aerial photographs of the installations, aerial radiation survey data consisting of exposure rates normalized to 3 feet above the ground plus gamma-ray spectral charts, effluent characterization for operational sites (intensity rates and isotope constituents), and pertinent descriptive information of the installation. This report presents the data collected on the Big Rock Point reactor survey. The Big Rock Point reactor site is located in North Central Michigan on the shoreline of Lake Michigan, 4 miles northeast of the community of Charlevoix. Currently operating at the site is a boiling water reactor with a capacity of 75 MW(E) (gross) owned and operated by Consumers Power Company. 6 figs., 3 tabs.
