VLF Harold E. Holt RADHAZ Measurements

Abstract

This document details the radiation hazard (RADHAZ) measurements made at the very-low-frequency (VLF) Harold E. Holt (HEH) transmitting facility by personnel from US. Naval Command, Control and Ocean Surveillance Center (NCCOSC) , Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Division (RDT&E Div.), the U.S. Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory (NAMRL), the Australian Defence Force (ADF), and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The measurements were made to determine if hazardous levels of electromagnetic fields existed in locations normally accessed by personnel. NAMRL and ADF personnel were primarily responsible for the measurements on the ground and in and around the transmitter building; NRaD personnel were primarily responsible for measurements on the towers. Radiation hazard measurements, Antenna configurations, VLF, Electromagnetic fields.
