Download or read book Operation TEAPOT, Nevada Test Site, February-May 1955. Project 30.3. Measurements of Beta and Gamma Ray Characteristics of Shot Debris and Fall-Out of Nuclear Weapons written by H. D. LeVine and published by . This book was released on 1955 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distribution of fall-out debris and radiation intensities over wide areas may be rapidly surveyed from the air. The development of instruments and techniques must be based on consideration of the beta and gamma characteristics of the radioisotopic constituents of the fall-out material. Radiation measurements in an aircraft may be related to surface conditions by an altitude correction factor, which has been determined by field measurements. Development and field testing, during the Teapot series, has resulted in a group of instruments useful for study of the radiation characteristics of fall-out debris. An aerial survey detector with automatic altitude compensator and a telemetering unit was also completed and tested.
