gamma-emission energy that is considerably softer than the radium used in instrument calibration, the sodium iodide detector should read high on an actual survey.

The data in Table 3.1 were normalized to the theoretical curve, and are shown in Figures 3.2
and 3.3.

Figure 3.2 Radiation attenuation over land (Helicopter).
Table 3.2 summarized the data obtained over water, and these are plotted in Figure3.4.
Additional data of this type have been derived from measurements made in previous operations.
This information is presented in Appendix C. The curves in Figures C.1 and C.2 show a similar
correspondence to the theoretical curves.
