Summary
The degree to which the terrestrial radiological environment can be determined from airborne gamma-ray measurements is of fundamental concern to the ARMS program. One direct means of increasing the confidence of these determinations and potentially for developing more accurate air-ground correlation techniques is through the analysis of ground-based data. Data of particular interest are the 3-ft exposure rate, the concentration and depth distribution of certain natural and manmade radioisotopes in the soil, and the soil moisture. In an effort to provide these data a qround survey program has been initiated as an integral part of the ARMS operation. Included in the survey program is a laboratory phase wherein quantitative radioisotopic measurements are made together with conversions to exposure rates. The survey program has undergone certain changes in instrumentation and laboratory techniques as operational experience has been gained. The purpose of this report is to document these procedures and delineate a set of standard field procedures.
