DASA FALLOUT AND TRANSIT DOSE RATE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM.

Abstract

The report presents the results of a study and design effort that demonstrates the feasibility of an improved system for the measurement and collection of residual radiation dose rate information. The improved system consists of as many as 100 data collection points at which up to 200 detectors may be located. Data are telemeteredto a centrally located online computer for real time computation. Suitable performance characteristics and system compatibility have been demonstrated by an experimental detector station fabricated for test and evaluation. Other system components were selected from available off-the-shelf commercial items. Included in the system is a provision for differentiation between the dose rate contributed by the deposited fallout and the transit dose rate. (Author)
