AOMON CRYPT IMP MEASUREMENTS
DOE/ERSP TECH NOTE NO. 17.0

DATED: 30 May 1979

AUTHOR: J. Jobst, EG&G
On 24 May 1979 DOE was requested by JTG to obtain IMP measurements on 9 stake locations just
south of the Aomon Crypt sheet pile enclosure. Previous measurements east of the enclosure
indicated that the east approach was clean; hence, trucks were permitted to approach the enclosure
from the east and dump Tilda sand into the evacuated enclosure. If similar results were obtained on
the south side, JTG planned to open this as an additional truck route. The following data were

obtained on 25 May 1979 by IMP I (detector 483).

These data were accumulated at half-mast height (470 em) so a correction factor of 1.05 was

included in the americium results noted above. Soil sample data close to the source of the fill

material (Tilda lagoon beach) showed a TRU/Amratio of 3, which has been used to compute the last

column. Since the TRU results are so low DOE indicated to J-3 (LTC Adeock) by radio, on 25 May,
phatDOE had no objections to using a south approach to the Crypt which pass over the above stake
ocations.
