Aerial radiological monitoring survey, Savannah River Plant
An aerial radiological survey of the Savannah River Plant was conducted by EG and G for the US Department of Energy. The survey dates were August 2 to August 31, 1982. A survey was also conducted from July through October 1983 to determine the level of man-made isotopes deposited in the Savannah River Floodplain. The survey covered over 8000 line-miles between Augusta and Savannah, Georgia. Airborne measurements were obtained for both natural and man-made gamma radiation of the plant and surrounding areas. These data were used to determine surface terrestrial spatial distributions of isotopes for cobalt-60 and cesium-137. Selected distribution maps for these isotopes are superimposed on site photographs and maps. Detailed cesium-137 contours are presented for Steel Creek. 3 references, 11 figures, 1 table.
