Nature and Scope of Test
This study will be conducted to provide information on the

effectiveness of a ship's structure in reducing the gamma radiation

hazard from radioactive material which is enveloping the ship and which

has been deposited on the weather surfaces, Measurements will be made
of the dose rate as a function of time in locations below the weather
deck and in superstructure compartments. Integrated doses will also be

measured.

Detailed monitoring will be conducted to determine the variation

of dose rate within a given compartment. Dose-rate measurements will also
be made within a series of pipes of various thicknesses on deck to provide
a means of estimating the effective photon energy of the radiation as a
function of time.
