Aerial radiological survey of the area surrounding the Robert Emmett Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, Ontario, New York. Date of survey: September 1972
The Aerial Measuring Systems (AMS) was used to survey the area surrounding the Robert Emmett Ginna Nuclear Power Plant during September 1972. The survey measured terrestrial gamma-ray exposure rate and spectral data. A high-sensitivity detection system collected gamma-ray spectral and gross count data. The data were then processed to construct a map of a 1000 km/sup 2/ area showing the spatial distribution of gamma-ray exposure rates 1 m above the ground. Exposure rates and isotopes identified are consistent with that related to normal terrestrial background radiation. The first survey of the Ginna site was conducted in September 1970. Comparison of the 1970 and 1972 survey data shows no measurable change in the terrestrial gamma exposure rate in the intervening years, due to the Ginna Power Plant operation.
