HASL SURFACE ATR SAMPLING PROGRAM
Gamma Activity Measurements

for March 1970

Attached are the results of the gamma activity analyses of
filters from the HASL Surface Air Sampling Program for the
month of March 1970.

The weekly samples are composited on a monthly basis and
counted on an 8" x 4" sodium iodide (Tl)

crystal.

The

integrated response between 100 Kev and 3.0 Mev is corrected
by the average detection efficiency (35%) of the gamma photons present in fallout.

The results are reported in units

of photons per minute per 1000 standard cubic meters

(sea

level conditions of the ICAO Atmosphere).
