Road blocks were establicied on Ficghways 93 and 91 following shots

‘The hifhest reading on a private

muitomobile was 100 mr/hr (gamma) inside and 110 mr/hr outside at H plus 3$
hours,

About 75 oars were washed (rovghly 1/8 of the total monitored).

All of the ears that were washed except the one mentioned stove, had ovtaice
Gose rate readings less than half of the hig-est.

‘The ratio of dose rate

readings on the outside of the oar to inside varied from unity to about h/l,
Probably one of the important factors here is the difference betwee; driving

with windows and/or ventilators opened or closed,

One bus read 250 ar/hr

rear seat of 110 mr/hr at © plus & 3/1], hours.
Considering the amount of time one normally spends i: an autono ile,

these dose rates do uot necessarily represent a health hagard in terns of
gavza doses,

What is provably @ more limiting factor is the direct contan-

ination one mignt acquire by rubbing against the outside of the car, especially
When changing a tire, —
Tt is assumed that monitoring will be accomplished outside a general

radiation field.

Theoretical ealowlations (Appendix D) indicate that garzma

dose rate readings taken at four inoces from a surface will te 51%, hot, and
27% of those by a meter at three feet acove an equally contaminated infinite
