An airborne system for mapping and tracking extended gamma ray sources

Year: 1976

Type: article

Abstract: An airborne system was developed for mapping and tracking extended sources of airborne or terrestrially distributed ..gamma..-ray emitters. The system records 300 channel ..gamma..-ray spectral data every three seconds on magnetic tape. Computer programs have been written to isolate the contribution from the particular radionuclide of interest. Aircraft position as sensed by a microwave ranging system is recorded every second on magnetic tape. Measurements of airborne stack releases of /sup 41/A concentrations versus time or aircraft position agree well with computer code predictions. (auth)
