An aerial radiological survey was conducted during the period October 15 to November 3, 1984 over a 260-square-kilometer (100-square-mile) area centered on the Limerick Generating Station in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The survey was conducted at an altitude of 91 meters (300 feet) with line spacings of 152 meters (500 feet). Count rates were converted to exposure rates at 1 meter above ground level. Over most of the survey area, exposure rates varied from approximately 8 to 13 microroentgens per hour (..mu..R/h). Two areas of increased count rates were seen. One of these areas was due to increased levels of naturally occurring radium, while the second was due to the presence of cobalt-60 and cesium-137. The cobalt-60 and cesium-137 were detected over a facility that launders contaminated clothing. The presence of detectable amounts of cobalt-60 and cesium-137 at this facility was consistent with the facility's normal operations. 8 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
