IONIZATION RATE MEASUREMENTS,
Abstract
The basic objective of this project was to measure the variation with time of the air ionization dose rate (r/hr) and the cumulative air ionization dose (r) due to gamma radiation 3 feet above the ground in and about the fallout sector of the Small Boy event. The anticipated fallout sector was instrumented with 140 gamma intensity versus time recorders (GITR). High range GITR's capable of registering up to 80,000 r/hr were used at close-in stations. Low range GITR's capable of registering down to 1 mr/hr were used at remote stations. Support and back-up data were supplied by dosimeters and remote reading radiacs, as well as gamma surveys and film dosimetry. (Author)
