Operation TEAPOT Nevada Test Site February-May 1955. Project 30.1. Measurement of Off-Site Fall-Out by Automatic Monitoring Stations.

摘要

Unattended, automatic, continuously recording gamma-ray monitors were placed in 28 towns in populated areas adjacent to the Nevada Test Site throughout Operation Teapot. Readings no higher than 10 mr/hr were detected at these locations. No large quantities of fall-out were encountered. However, the continuous recording of the gamma radiation was compiled at each station. The equipment was reliable and operated unattended over relatively long periods. (Author)
