Description/Abstract:
RADNS NEAR THE 200 E SCAVENGED WASTE TRENCHES APPEAR TO BE APPROX 55% DUE TO A HIGH GAMMA RADN (ABOUT 360 KEV OR GREATER) AND 45% OF THE RADNS APPEAR TO HAVE AN EFFECTIVE ENERGY OF APPROX 60 KEV. NO BETA RADNS WERE DETECTED. THE SENSITIVITY FACTOR FOR THE OPEN WINDOW PORTION OF THE HANFORD FILM BADGE FOR 60 KEV GAMMA RADNS IS APPROX 36 TIME THAT OF RA GAMMA. THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE APPARENT HIGH BETA DOSE ON BADGES OF PERSONNEL WORKING IN THIS VICINITY.
