2.3.2 Altitude Absorption. The automatic gamma monitors, HASL TN-4-C, were mounted
on the YAG-S9 and YAG-40, Each instrument was mounted at the end of a boom that was also
used to suspend the depth probe of Project 2.62. The boom extended 35 feet from the side of the
ship and was set al an approximate mean height of 35 feet above the sea. An Esterline-Angus

wo ewe oe ee ae F,

strip~chart recorder was installed in the shielded control room on the ship, to continuously

record the gamma dose rate, The installation of the monitors and recorders was accomplished

’

by Project 2.10.

Scintameter survey meters, HASL TH-3-B and TH-7-A, were used for helicopter operations.

Gamma dose rate was measured at various altitudes over contaminated water and land surfaces.

A gamma spectrometer, HASL TM-10-A, which consists of a scintillation bead, pulseheight analyzer, and a recorder, was loaded into the same helicopter. The 28-volt power in the

belicopter was converted to 115 volts, 60 cps, by a separate inverter to supply the spectrometer. _
The count rate at various energy levels was observed on a meter as the base line automatically

swept through an energy scan from 50 kev to 3 Mev.

The survey aircraft had the same instrumentation as described in the previous section, plus

a scintameter survey meter, TH-3-B.
