Radiological survey of the area surrounding the Haddam Neck Plant, Haddam Neck, Connecticut
The Aerial Radiological Measuring System (ARMS) was used to survey the area surrounding the Haddam Neck nuclear power plant (Connecticut Yankee Reactor) during August 1969. The survey measured terrestrial gamma radiation. A high-sensitivity detection system collected gamma-ray 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. 3 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs.
