Remote Radiological Monitoring,

Abstract

A gamma-radiation telemetering system was utilized by Civil Effects Test Group personnel to measure fallout levels at the Nevada Test Site from the vicinity of Ground Zero out to, and including, an area bounded by Reno, Nev.; Salt Lake City, Utah, Kingman, Ariz.; and Barstow, Calif. Two methods of signal transmission were used; direct-coupled field lines for on-site installations and commercial telephone lines for areas to 330 miles. Graphic and tabular data cover on-site and off-site residual gamma-radiation dose rate measurements taken as function of time after selected events. (Author)
