Total and Individual Isotope Exposure Rates Along the Village
Road Transect - Twenty-one hundred feet of the Village Road
between 0 and 1 Transects (see Figure 3) were surveyed.
Scintillation and Geiger counter readings were made every 150
ft. as determined with a marked 150 ft. length of rope.
These
measurement points coincided with the placement of NRDL TLD
dosimeter packages.
Spectrometer and ionization chamber

measurements were made at the beginning of the transect,

Location 4,

and at the midpoint,

Location 9.

The road was generally clear of brush, particularly

past the 1200 ft. point toward the Tent 2 area.

and the radiation levels were
from 20 to 40 ur/hr from O ft.

and from 8 to 18 wr/hr from 1350 ft. to 2100 ft.

Only the 1200 ft. point was located in the midst of somewhat
denser vegetation.
The exposure rate measurements at this
location were correspondingly higher; about 57 ur/hr.
The
spectrometer and ion chamber measurements are summarized
below.

IONIZATION CHAMBER EXPOSURE RATES

The dominant emitter again is **’cs, contributing 77 to 80%
of the total exposure rate.
No soil samples were taken.

The TLD results

(Table 1)

also show the same pattern as the

portable meter readings, although the HASL results at
Locations 4 and 9 are quite high, possibly for the same
reasons as discussed in reference to the Location 2 result.
