An aerial radiological survey was conducted over four nuclear safety test sites: Clean Slate 1, Clean Slate 2, Clean Slate 3, and Double Track. The first three were conducted at the Tonopah Test Range, the fourth on a nearby portion of the Nellis Air Force Bombing and Gunnery Range. The surveys were performed on 15 to 19 February 1977 at an altitude of 30 m using sodium iodide detectors mounted in a helicopter. The gamma count rate from the 59.5 keV photopeak of /sup 241/Am was measured. An isopleth map has been prepared for each site showing soil activity due to /sup 241/Am, /sup 239/Pu, and /sup 240/Pu. 16 references, 14 figures, 13 tables.
