The Aerial Radiological Measuring System (ARMS) was used to survey the area surrounding the Elk River experimental power reactor during Aug. and Sept. 1968. The survey measured terrestrial gamma radiation. A high-sensitivity detection system collected gamma spectral and gross-count data. The data were then computer processed into a map of a 900 square mile area showing isoexposure contours three feet above the ground. Exposure rates and isotopes identified are consistent with normal terrestrial background radiation. (auth)
