Airborne radioactivity measurements from the Chernobyl plume
Creators

Description
Airborne gamma-ray measurements were made aboard the Pacific Northwest Laboratory DC-3 and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration King Air research aircraft before and during the first passage of the Chernobyl radioactive cloud over the west coast of the North American continent. Measurements were made from Anchorage, Alaska south to Reno, Nevada. Calculated trajectories were used to estimate the location of the Chernobyl plume. The ratios of the observed volatile radionuclides (131I and 134Cs normalized to 137Cs) agreed with the reported discharge ratio. (author) 6 refs.; 3 tabs
