The Aerial Radiological Measuring Surveys (ARMS) system , operated for the US Atomic Energy Commission, was used to perform aerial surveys of several operational and non-operational reactor sites during the summer months of 1968. The data collected on this survey provides a catalog file of characteristics of the procedure nuclear installation. The Dresden reactor site is located in northeast Illinois, approximately 10 miles east of the community of Morris. Currently operating at the site is Dresden 1, a boiling water reactor with a capacity of 200 MW(e), owned and operated by the Commonwealth Edison Company. In addition, construction has begun at the same site for Dresden 2 and 3, each to have an 800 MW(e) capability. Information included consists of (1) aerial photographs of the installation, (2) aerial radiation survey data consisting of exposure rates normalized to 3 feet above the ground plus gamma ray spectral charts, (3) effluent characterization for operational sites -- intensity rates and isotope constituents, and (4) pertinent descriptive information of the installation. The data included and discussed in this report is considered to be the catalog file for the Dresden reactor site. The ARMS equipment and procedures employed to conduct this survey and evaluate the results are described in EG G technical report 2 83--1457. 13 figs., 4 tabs.
