soil of minimum organic content could have concentrated more
*8’cs in its immediate vicinity.
The TLD results at the other
locations along this transect are in excellent agreement with
the other data.
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.

The soil was

rather sandy and weathered, and the radiation levels were
relatively low and uniform, from 20 to 40 ur/hr from 0 ft.
to 1040 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 uwr/hr.

The

spectrometer and ion chamber measurements are summarized
below.

reasons as discussed in reference to the Location 2 result.
