Abstract: An automated transuranic assay system for soils (ATASS) has been developed by the Health Physics and Environmental Studies groups of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. The instrumentation components of this system are presented in detail, including the germanium detectors, the multichannel analyzer, a PDP-11/04 computer, and an automatic sample changer. The instrumentation costs and facility descriptions are also included, as well as a preliminary evaluation of the system's capabilities. Systems performance characteristics will be presented in more detail in a later report.
