CONSTRUCTION
The U. S.
Public Health Service (USPHS) will furnish portable
radiological surveillance equipment which requires 1.5 kw, 110 volt, 60 cycle,
single phase electrcial power. No building or construction will be required as
the U. S. Air Force Air Weather Service (AWS) facilities (F&S No.
38002) will
be used.
This facility is designated a PRIMARY radiological surveillance station because
of the civilian population being in close proximity to the test location. Radiological surveillance activities include the continuous monitoring of external
radiation levels, and the testing for radionuclide content of food, air, drinking
water and rainfall.
One USPHS officer will operate the radiological equipment
at this location.
