2.3.2 Altitude Absorption. The automatic gamma monitors, HASL TN-4-C, were mounted on the YAG-39 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 at an approximate mean height of 35 feet above the sea. An Esterline-Angus 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. COPILOT : PILOT RADAR OPERATOR TO RADIATION SURVEY —-~ OFERATOR oO DETECTOR CONTROL ASSY. [.

A gamma spectrometer, HASL TM-10-A, which consists of a scintillation head, pulseheight analyzer, and a recorder, was loaded into the same helicopter. The 28-volt power in the helicopter was converted The count rate at various swept through an energy The survey aircraft had to 115 volts, 60 cps, by a separate inverter to supply the spectrcmeter. energy levels was observed on a meter as the base line automatically scan from 50 kev to 3 Mev. the same instrumentation as described in the previous section, plus a scintameter survey meter, TH-3-B. 2.4 REQUIRED DATA The project operations were directed mainly toward obtaining isodose plots of the gamma 20
