Aerial Radiological Survey of the area surrounding the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Station, Scriba, New York
The Aerial Radiological Measuring System (ARMS) was used to survey the area surrounding the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Station 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 determine the spatial distribution of gamma-ray exposure rates one meter above the ground. Exposure rates and isotopes identified are consistent with that related to normal terrestrial background radiation. The first survey of the Nine Mile Point area was conducted in September 1969. Comparison of the 1969 and 1972 survey data shows no measurable change in the terrestrial gamma exposure rate in the intervening years, due to the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Station.
