a A. nat ate Page 3 of 9 11. | Scope , The EG&G AMS program provides an integrated airborne remote sensing capability to serve tie. interest of the Department of Energy (DOH). The capability which EG&G maintains provides useful types of airborne remote sensing and associated ground correlation capabilities, Types of remote sensing ' provided include the following: 1) large area radiological mapping; 2) high altitude aerial photography; 3) multispectral aerial scanning; and 4) airborne gas and particulates sampling. \ Services provided by the cavability include: 1) data acquisition by remote sensing over all sites of interest to the DOE where remoie sensing is the most. appropriate method of acquiring data; and 2) emergency response capability (24-hour-per-day accident response). One function of the program is to provide data necessary to insure that all DOE programs and operations are conducted in a manner that will protect the public, insure occupational safety and health and preserve the environment in accordance with nationally accepted norms, Remote sensing data provides information on the following environmental parameters: 1) ecological systems; 2) water quality; 3) subsidence/seismicity; 4) air quality; 5) socio-economic; and 6) integrated environmental measurements. Another important function of the AMS program is to provide a 24-hour-per-day accident response capability. In support of this function, the following situations are maintained: 1. Ze 3. Materials, equipment, and personnel are stationed at both an East Coast and West Coast facility. Personnel and equipment are staged and organized in such a way as to allow the initiation of a response to an accident situation within two hours. Capability is constantly maintained for the rapid assessment of radiation release, major facility damage, or significant spills. : Present AMS activities provide remote sensing surveys of projects for geothermal, fossil fuel, conservation, and nuclear energy development. The program provides for the generation of data to be used in environmental, safety, and health studies. In addition, the system hardware is usable ina response for Congressional inquiries or situations requiring litigation information. The system provides CEQRTIEERORETER ES
