PROJECT SUMMARY
Creation of a Data Base of Survey Meter
Readings In The Western United
States After Nuclear Tests
ABSTRACT
During the 1950s and 1960s, aboveground nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site caused
radioactive fallout in off-site areas. To help protect the people living in these areas, radiation
levels were closely monitored during and after each test. All the monitoring data collected in
the western U.S. since the start of nuclear testing in 1945 have recently been organized into a
computerized data base, the Survey Meter Data Base, as part of the Off-Site Radiation
Exposure Review Project. This report describes the contents and organization of the Survey
Meter Data Base and the Procedures used to verify the accuracy of its records.
-------
INTRODUCTION:
More then 700 nuclear tests have been conducted at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) since
it was established in 1951. Many of these tests, especially the aboveground tests of nuclear
weapons in the 1950s, resulted in radioactive fallout being deposited on the ground in regions
outside the NTS boundary. To help protect the public from excessive exposure to radiation
from this fallout, monitoring programs were (and continue to be) an important part of the
operational support for every nuclear test.
In the days of atmospheric testing, the monitoring programs relied heavily on
measurements of external gamma exposure rates made with hand-held instruments. These -
measurements were typically made at various locations along streets and highways throughout
the region expected to be downwind from a given test. As the measurements were taken, the
results were sent by radio to safety officials on the NTS to help them track the movement of
fallout.
Each measurement was also recorded on a log sheet such as the one shown in Figure
1. Although the logs changed in format over the years, they usually included the gross
radiation reading, a previously determined background level, the date and time, the instrument
type and serial number, the location or the distance from some landmark, and comments
about the measurement or the weather conditions. The logs were evaluated after the test to
-------
determine the extent of fallout deposition and the maximum readings, to prepare maps with
exposure rate isopleths, and to estimate external exposures to off-site residents.
The earliest monitoring programs were carried out by Los Alamos Scientific
Laboratory (now Los Alamos National Laboratory) and the military. In 1954, responsibility
for the off-site radiological safety program was given to the U.S. Public Health Service
(PHS). The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), also assisted with he monitoring
programs in the 1950s. In 1970, the monitoring became a task of the newly created
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has maintained an extensive monitoring
program around the NTS to the present day.
In 1979, renewed interest in the possible health effects of NTS fallout led the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) to begin the Off-Site Radiation Exposure Review Project
(ORERP). One objective of this project was to estimate the radiation doses that off-site
populations may have received as a result of NTS activities. The old monitoring data have a
key role in fulfilling this objective, and a major task of the ORERP was to collect those data
and incorporate them into a computerized data base, the Survey Meter Data Base (SMDB).
The SMDR provides computer access to the available monitoring data and serves as a
permanent historical record of the data. Creating it was the responsibility of the EPA's
Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory in Las Vegas, with assistance from Reynolds
-------
Electrical and Engineering Co., Inc. (REECo), and the Desert Research Institute (DRI) of the
University of Nevada System.

CONTENTS OF THE SURVEY METER DATA BASE:
The SMDB contains the results of about 119,000 radiation measurements made after
more than 225 nuclear tests. The tests represented in the data base are listed in Appendix A.
They include the 1945 TRINITY test conducted in New Mexico and all nuclear tests
conducted in Nevada between 1951 and 1972 for which monitoring data are available. Later
tests are not included because none of them resulted in detectable radiation outside the NTS.
The primary sources of information for the SMDB were the original monitoring logs
on which the readings were recorded. When the original logs for an event could not be
found, written correspondence and reports were used as secondary sources. Occasionally,
summary sheets and tables had to be used, although these were considered the least desirable
sources of information. Appendix B lists all the documents used as sources of monitoring
data for the SMDB. Copies of all source documents have been archived at the Coordination
and Information Center (CIC) operated by REECo in Las Vegas.
Appendix C contains the rules and guidelines given to the people who transcribed the
information from the monitoring logs for entry into the data base. This protocol helped
ensure that the logs were interpreted consistently.
In general, a record in the SMDB contains the information from a single reading taken
with a radiation survey instrument.
-------
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
For additional information regarding the SMDB, a complete report can be obtained
through NTIS.
CONCLUSIONS:
This report was not intended to assess the results contained in the SMDB, rather it was
intended to merely describe its contents and organization.

CREATION OF A DATA BASE OF SURVEY METER READINGS
MADE IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES AFTER NUCLEAR TESTS
INTRODUCTION
More than 700 nuclear tests have been conducted at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) since it

The SMDB provides computer access to the available monitoring data and serves as a

Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory in Las Vegas, with assistance from Reynolds
Electrical and Engineering Co., Inc. (REECo), and the Desert Research Institute (DRI) ot
the University of Nevada System.
CONTENTS OF THE SURVEY METER DATA BASE
The SMDB contains the results of about 119.000 radiation measurements made after
more than 225 nuclear tests. The tests represented in the data base are listed in Appendix A.
They include the 1945 TRINITY test conducted in New Mexico and all nuclear tests conducted
-------
in Nevada between 1951 and 1972 for which monitoring data are available. Later tests are not
included because none of them resulted in detectable radiation outside the NTS.
The primary sources of information for the SMDB were the original monitoring logs on
which the readings were recorded. When the original logs for an event could not be found,
written correspondence and reports were used as secondary sources. Occasionally, summary
sheets and tables had to be used, although these were considered the least desirable sources
of information. Appendix B lists all the documents used as sources of monitoring data for the
SMDB. Copies of all source documents have been archived at the Coordination and
Information Center (CIC) operated by REECo in Las Vegas.
Appendix C contains the rules and guidelines given to the people who transcribed the
information from the monitoring logs for entry into the data base. This protocol helped ensure
that the logs were interpreted consistently.
In general, a record in the SMDB contains the information from a single reading taken
with a radiation survey instrument. Each record contains the following data elements and
attributes:
REC# (Record Number): A number assigned to each record within an event, used to
randomly select records for quality assurance checks.
SEQ# (Sequence Number): A six-digit integer that uniquely identifies each record.
SERIES and EVENT: The operational series and the name of the nuclear event whose fallout
was being monitored (see Appendix A). Beginning with the Upshot-Knothole series in 1953,
the event name is unique.
EVENT# (Event Number): An alphanumeric code for the event, used to help in sorting the
records.
OAGCY (Originating Agency): A number identifying the agency responsible for collecting the
data:
00 Agency unknown
01 Public Health Service/Environmental Protection Agency
02 Department of Defense
03 University of California, Los Angeles
04 Los Alamos National Laboratory
SOURCE (Source Document Number): The CIC number for the document from which the
information was obtained (see Appendix B).
LOGNUM (Log Number): A number assigned to each page of a source document from which
information was transcribed. This number was used to sort retrievals from the data base in the
same order that the data appear in the source document, thus making checks of the data base
easier.
-------
NEAR-TOWN (Nearest Town): The town nearest to where the reading was taken. The
near-town designation gives the general location of the reading. Map coordinates are needed
to find the exact location.
UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator): The map coordinate of the location where the reading
was taken. It was determined by finding the location described in the source document on a U.
S. Geological Survey map (1:250,000 scale) and reading the corresponding UTM coordinate.
If a given location was in a city or town, the coordinate for the center of the city or town was
used.
LAT and LONG (Latitude and Longitude): These were calculated from the UTM coordinate.
They are used for calculating distances and plotting the data.
FLAGS: Letters or symbols used to explain characteristics or qualifications of the data that
might affect their usefulness for dose assessment. The flags were used only with 12 events
reanalyzed for the ORERP by the Weather Service Nuclear Support Office (WSNSO) of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration2'14. The meanings of the flags are
different for each event. Not all of the available records for an event were used in the WSNSO
reanalysis. An "N" flag denotes records which are in the data base but not in the WSNSO
reports (except in the case of event BOLTZMANN, where "$N" was used to eliminate conflict
with the WSNSO flag "N").
NUFDC (Not Used For Dose Calculations): A letter code indicating the suitablity of a reading
for dose assessment. A "Y" (for yes) or a "W" (for WSNSO review) in this field means the
reading was not used in dose calculations, for reasons explained in the COMMENTS field. An
"N" (for no) or a blank means there was no reason to exclude the reading. Possible reasons for
not using a reading were that it was taken at some height other than 1 meter from the ground;
the instrument was out of calibration; the instrument was contaminated to an unknown level;
or the reading was taken indoors, in a vehicle, or next to a building.
DATE: A six-digit integer with the leading two digits representing the year, the next two digits
the month, and the last two digits the day of the month on which the reading was made. Thus
570518 denotes May 18,1957.
TIME: The time of day the reading was made, in military time (24-hour clock). For example,
0600 denotes 6:00 a.m., 1800 denotes 6:00 p.m., and 2400 denotes midnight. The time noted in
the logs was assumed to be the local time at the NTS, which may have been different from the
local time at the place of the measurement.
INSTTYP (Instrument Type): Alphanumeric characters representing the model number or
abbreviated manufacturer's name of the instrument used. Appendix D provides details about
all the types of instruments recorded in the logs.
INST# (Instrument Number): In most cases, the serial number of the instrument. On
occasion, an agency-assigned property number was used.
-------
GROSS (Gross Radiation Reading): The radiation reading measured with a survey
instrument, including the contribution of ambient background. In some instances, readings
were adjusted in the field using calibration curves. In these situations the field-adjusted
measurements were used. When the original monitoring log information was not available, the
adjusted (background subtracted) readings in reports were used.
Most readings entered on the logs were taken outdoors 1 meter above the ground, with
no nearby obstructions. However, additional readings were sometimes taken at the ground
surface and at various distances above the ground surface, and some were taken inside
buildings or vehicles or near people. Such readings are noted in the COMMENTS field. In
most cases, only one reading was taken with a given instrument at a given place, date, and time,
although the UCLA monitors took as many as three readings to help determine the effect of
shielding by the monitor's body.
BACK (Background Radiation Level): The radiation level at a given location before any
fallout arrived from the event for which the monitoring was being performed (usually
measured during a several-day period before the event). Contributions to the background
radiation came from naturally occurring cosmic and terrestrial sources and in some cases from
the fallout of previous nuclear tests or from contaminated instruments.
UNITS: A one- or two-character code specifying the unit of measurement for the gross and
background readings.
R Roentgens per hour, R/h
MR Milliroentgens per hour, mR/h
UR Microroentgens per hour, uR/h
CM Counts per minute, cpm
RT (Radiation Type): A code indicating the type of radiation measured by the survey
instrument. Most measurements were of gamma radiation (G), but some readings were taken
of alpha radiation (A), of beta radiation (B) and of beta and gamma radiation combined (BG).
COMMENTS: The comments explain why a record is marked "NUFDC," the reasoning used
in making a particular judgment for encoding a reading, or any facts recorded in the source
document that might affect how a reading is used or interpreted.
A few records in the SMDB contain no radiation data. Such records represent nuclear
events which presumably caused off-site fallout, but for which no monitoring records have
been found. These events include SUGAR and UNCLE (Jangle series, 1951), for which
exposure rate isopleths derived from the monitoring data were published by the Weather
Bureau15 even though the monitoring records or reports have been lost. They also include
events such as COULOMB B whose fallout could not be distinguished from the fallout from
another event conducted on the same day.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
To help ensure the accuracy of the SMDB, the initial entry of data and any subsequent
changes and corrections were all carefully checked by the person entering the data and the
supervisor. However, the procedure for entering data was modified and new attributes were
added at several points during development of the data base. As the SMDB neared
completion, questions began to arise as to whether the first data entered were entirely
consistent with the data entered at later stages.
To make sure that all records were encoded consistently, a complete review of the SMDB
was carried out between March 1988 and July 1991. This review included developing a
procedure for checking and updating data and creating the protocol for transcribing the data
from the monitoring logs (Appendix C). In addition to assuring consistency of the records, the
review also resulted in the removal of duplicate records. The instrument number, latitude,
longitude, and source document number were added to each record during the review.
The first step in checking the data was to compare a printout of the SMDB records for
an event with the source documents and the protocol. Any corrections to the records were
reviewed by a supervisor before the data base was changed. After the changes were made, the
corrected records were retrieved and again checked by the supervisor. The process of
changing, retrieving, and checking records continued until all corrections had been made
accurately.
The second data-checking step was to compare a map of the monitoring locations with
the locations given in the source documents. Any necessary corrections resulting from this step
were again validated by a supervisor after being made.
The final check used a random sampling of the records for each event to assure (with 95
percent confidence) that the transcription error rate was no greater than 2.5 percent. DRI
developed the sampling procedure based on the procedures for assessing acceptable quality
levels (AQL) in MIL-STD-105D16. In setting up the procedure, it was assumed that the
records for each event represented a single batch of a distinct process and that an erroneous
record was one which had at least one incorrect field. Schilling17 defines a procedure for
judging the AQL of single batches that provides a level of protection comparable to
MIL-STD-105D. Burr18 provides more information. A two-stage sampling plan was selected
instead of a one-stage plan because such plans usually require fewer records to be sampled
before coming to a decision on the AQL.
-------
The AQL for the records associated with an event was judged by the following procedure:
1. After being given the number of records for the event, DRI produced a printout with the
number of records to be sampled at each stage, the number of incorrect records required
for accepting or rejecting the event at either stage, and a list of the record numbers of the
randomly chosen records to be reviewed at each stage.
2. This printout and a second printout of all the records for the event were given to the person
responsible for the AQL review. The reviewer checked each record in the first set of record
numbers, recorded the number of incorrect records, and determined if the event passed or
failed. If the number of records in error fell in the middle ground between passing and
failing, the reviewer checked each record in the second set of record numbers. The total
number of incorrect records was then used to determine if the event passed or failed.
3. If the event passed the review, any errors found were corrected in the data base, and after
the supervisor checked the corrections, the review of the event was considered complete.
4. If the event did not pass the review, any errors found were corrected in the data base, and
after the supervisory check, the event was reviewed again from step 1.
5. To prevent the same interpretation of possible errors, each AQL review of a given event
was made by a different person. A different random number seed was also used in step 1 to
ensure that the set of records checked in subsequent reviews was not exactly the same.
6. The records in an event were reviewed and corrected through this process until the event
passed.
If the number of records in an event was less than 26, all the records were checked, because the
MIL-STD-105D process was not set up to handle batch sizes that small.
The TRINITY readings were taken at ground level, which makes them not directly usable
for dose calculations, and some readings were in roentgens per 8 hours, a unit not used for any
other event. Only some of these readings (1,479 records) were entered into the SMDB. The
TRINITY data were not given the supervisory reviews and quality checks given to the data for
all other events.

APPENDIX C
PROTOCOL FOR CODING MONITORING RECORDS
The following set of rules and guidelines was given to the people who transcribed the
monitoring data from the original records for entry into the SMDB. Its purpose was to help the
transcribers interpret the logs in situations where the original notes were not clear. By defining
procedures for handling the most common problems, the protocol helped ensure that the
records in the SMDB consistently reflect the efforts of the monitors to describe radiological
conditions.
Rules (R) provide coding conventions for situations where little, if any, interpretation of
the monitor's notes is needed. Guidelines (G) give conventions for situations where some
interpretation may be necessary to determine what radiological conditions the monitor was
attempting to record.
1. (R) There should be a record in the SMDB for each unique radiological assessment. A
unique radiological assessment describes the measurements by a particular instrument at a
particular time, location and distance from the ground.
2. (R) For each unique radiological assessment, the following information should be picked.
up from the monitor's logs (or summary report):
Event Name
Source Document Number
Log Number from Source Document
Date of Measurement (yymmdd)
Time of Measurement (24-hour clock) at the NTS
Location of Measurement (in UTM coordinates)
Instrument Type (e.g., MX-5, TIB, THYAC)
Instrument Number
Radiation Type (e.g., Gamma or Beta-Gamma)
Gross Radiation Value
Background Radiation Value
Unit of Measurement for Gross and Background (e.g., mR or uR)
Comment relating to status of measurement (either from the log sheets or reports or
to explain interpretations or judgments made)
3. (R) For each unique radiological assessment, the following information will also be kept in
the SMDB:
Series name associated with the event
Sequence number of record in the data base
Nearest town to measurement location (determined by computer program)
Location of measurement (longitude and latitude, determined by program)
Flags (indicating notes from WSNSO reanalysis or about use of measurement)
36
-------
Agency responsible for collecting monitoring information or providing final report
Event number
4. (R) If a line on an original monitoring log or final report contains no radiological
assessment, that is, no background or gross value, no record will be entered into the data base.
If such a line contains a comment that describes something about the radiological or
environmental situation, add the comment to the next earliest record from that log sheet.
5. (R) In some instances, information from final reports was entered into the data base
before the original monitoring logs were located. The records relating to the information in the
final reports should be replaced by the information from the original logs. If instances of this
are found in situations where records come from more than one document, please notify the
supervisor.
6. (R) When original monitoring logs are not available, net survey readings from final
reports have to be entered into the data base.
[A] If no background information is available in the report, the net values will be entered
in the GROSS data field and a zero (0.0) will be entered in the BACKGROUND data field.
[B] If background information is available in the report, the value should be entered in
the BACKGROUND data field and the reading should be considered the GROSS value for
Tumbler-Snapper events. For other events check the report or check with the supervisor.
7. (R) [A] If a line on an original monitoring log or final report contains only a net and a gross
reading, i.e., no background reading, the BACKGROUND value will be calculated by
subtracting the net value from the gross value. This BACKGROUND value and the indicated
GROSS value will be entered into the data base.
[B] If the net value equals the gross value, enter the gross value in the GROSS data field
and a null, "-0-", in the BACKGROUND data field.
8. (R) If a line on an original monitoring log or final report contains only a net and a
background value, i.e., no gross reading, the GROSS value will be calculated by adding the
background value to the net value. This GROSS value and the indicated BACKGROUND
value will be entered into the data base.
9. (R) [A] If a non-numeric entry such as "BKGD" appears in the gross and background
columns on an original monitoring log without any interpretation of what numeric value is
represented by that entry, the GROSS and BACKGROUND values in the data base should be
coded as a null, "-0-." An entry in the COMMENT field should be made to the effect that
"BKGD (or whatever) was indicated for the gross and background readings." (revised 4/4/88)
[B] If a non-numeric entry such as "BKGD" appears in the background column and a
numeric entry appears in the gross column for that reading, enter the numeric value in the
GROSS value of the data base and enter a null, "-0-", in the BACKGROUND value. An
entry in the COMMENT field should also be made to the effect that "BKGD (or whatever)
was indicated on the log sheet for the background reading." (revised 4/4/88)
37
-------
10. (R) Readings for on-site and off-site locations, i.e., those beyond the boundaries of the
Nevada Test Site will be entered into the data base. The attached map (Figure C-1) shows the
area considered to be on-site. Maps will be available for this assessment.(revised 10/3/88)
11. (R) Any comment on a log sheet or final report describing the unique radiological
assessment should be entered in the COMMENTS field of the the data base. Comments
relating to transmission of information via radio should not be entered.
12. (R) Comments on monitoring logs that are listed for one record but pertain to more than
one record should be entered in the COMMENTS field of the data base for each appropriate
record. Again one needs to assess what the monitor intended to describe about the situation.
13. (R) Any indication on a log sheet, whether in the comments area or other places on the
line, that the reading was taken inside a building, inside a vehicle, or at any height other than 1
meter above ground surface will be noted in the COMMENTS field of the data base.
14. (R) Any interpretations or judgments made about the intent of the monitor for a
radiological assessment will be noted in the COMMENTS field of the data base.
15. (R) Open shield survey instrument readings are considered beta-gamma radiation
measurements; closed shield readings are considered gamma radiation measurements.
16. (R) Some original monitoring logs contain three readings from CDV-700 survey meters
for the same date, time and location. Each of these readings will be entered into the data base
as a unique radiological assessment. For instances where the original survey meter readings for
these instruments were corrected by a factor, only the original survey meter readings will be
entered into the data base.(revised 10/3/88)
17. (R) Some log sheets include notations that a reading with a particular instrument was
off—scale.
[A] If an MX-5 reading is noted as being off-scale, but a useable reading from another
instrument for that date, time and location is available, the information from the other
instrument should be included in the data base and a note should be made in the COMMENTS
field of the data base that the "MX-5 reading was off-scale."
[B] If an MX-5 reading is noted as being off-scale, but there is no other instrument
reading available for that date, time and location, the full scale record will be entered in the
data base as a GROSS value and a notation in the COMMENTS field will be made that the
"MX-5 reading was off-scale." (revised 5/6/88)
18. (R) The monitoring logs labeled "D/R" and "G/C" stand for direct readings 1 meter above
the ground surface and ground contact readings, respectively. For any record containing a G/C
reading, the entry "Ground contact reading" will be made in the COMMENTS field.
19. (G) A ditto or vertical arrow is often used on an original monitoring log sheet to indicate
identical readings to those listed above. However, one needs to carefully interpret the
radiological assessments described by the monitor. For example, a reading whose gross or
background readings are "dittoed" should not be entered as a record in the data base if the

implied measurement would be inconsistent with measurements by other instruments at the
same time. If in doubt, please check with a supervisor.
20. (G) [A] If a survey meter reading is found only in the background column on an original
monitoring log and the magnitude of the reading is less than 0.06 mR/h, the reading will be
entered into both the GROSS and BACKGROUND fields of the data base and a notation will
be made in the COMMENTS field that "This is a background reading."
[B] If a reading is found only in the background column, the reading is greater than or
equal to 0.06 mR/h, and it can be assessed that the reading is intended to be a background
measurement, that reading will be entered into both the GROSS and BACKGROUND fields
of the data base and a notation with be made in the COMMENTS field that "This is a
background reading."
[C] If a reading is found only in the background column, the reading is greater than or
equal to 0.06 mR/h, and it can be assessed that it was intended to be a gross measurement, then
the indicated value should be entered into the GROSS field of the data base, a null, "-0-",
should be entered into the BACKGROUND field and a notation should be made in the
COMMENTS field about the interpretation. For example, the comment might be: "Gross
value is assumed even though in background column on log sheet." If there are any questions
about the appropriate interpretation, please check with the supervisor.
21. (G) If a survey meter reading is recorded only in the gross column of an original
monitoring log and no reading is either entered in the corresponding background column or
can be assessed from surrounding comments, then the gross reading will be entered into the
GROSS field of the data base and a null, "-0-", will be entered into the BACKGROUND
field.
22. (G) If a range of survey meter readings is recorded as the gross measurement on an
original monitoring log or final report, an average of the readings will be entered in the
GROSS field of the database, a null, "-0-", will be entered in the BACKGROUND field and
a notation will be entered in the COMMENTS field that "The gross reading is an average of
the given range of values: XXX-YYY." NOTE: If this information is already in the data base
as two individual records and one of the records has something in the FLAGS column other
than an "*", please notify the supervisor.
23. (G) [A] If a range of survey meter readings is recorded as the background measurement on
an original monitoring log, no gross reading is indicated, and both of the readings are less than
0.06 mR/h, the lower value of the range will be entered in the GROSS and BACKGROUND
fields of the data base and a notation will be entered in the COMMENTS field that "The gross
and background readings are the lower of the given range of values: XXX-YYY." (revised
4/7/88)
[B] In [A] if there is a gross reading available, that value will be entered in the GROSS
field, the lower value of the range will be entered in the BACKGROUND field of the data base
40
-------
and a notation will be entered in the COMMENTS field that "The background reading is the
lower of the given range of values: XXX-YYY."
[C] If either reading in the range is greater than 0.06 mR/h, a judgment needs to be made
as to whether it could have been a background reading given fallout levels or whether the
reading is meant to be the gross value. Please check with the supervisor.
24. (R) For any event for which radiation was detected off-site and for which no monitoring
records are available, a single record entry will be made in the data base as a place holder. The

compared to a measurement taken with a different instrument type at the same time, may show
that it is not a good descriptor of the radiological situation. We would like these situations to be
handled similarly to #17 for off-scale (revised 4/18/88):
[A] If an MX-5 reading is noted as being top-of-scale, but a useable reading from
another instrument for that date, time and location is available, the information from the other
CDV-700 0-0.5mR/h, 0-5mR/h
CDV-710 0-0.5R/h, 0-5R/h,

instrument should be included in the data base and a note should be made in the COMMENTS
field of the data base that the "MX-5 reading was top-of-scale." (revised 4/18/88)
[B] If an MX-5 reading is noted as being top-of-scale, but there is no other instrument
reading available for that date, time and location, a record will be entered in the data base with
a null, "-0-", for the GROSS and BACKGROUND values and a notation in the
COMMENTS field that the "MX-5 reading was top-of-scale." (revised 4/18/88)
[C] If an instrument reading is noted as being below scale (or equal to 0.0), but a useable
reading from another instrument for that date, time and location is available, the information
from the other instrument should be included in the data base and a note should be made in
the COMMENTS field that the "Reading for instrument was below scale with a value of
XX.XX." (revised 4/18/88)
[D] If an instrument reading is noted as being below scale, but there is no other instrument
reading available for that date, time and location, a record will be entered in the data base with
a null, "-0-", for the GROSS and BACKGROUND values and a notation in the
COMMENTS field that the "Reading for instrument was below scale with a value of XX.XX."
(revised 4/18/88)
27. (R) Some measurements contain "<", ">", "+", or "-." The values in the associated
GROSS and BACKGROUND data fields should contain the numerical value of the
measurement without the sign. A notation should be made in the COMMENTS field to reflect
what was actually on the log sheet, (revised 10/3/88)
28. (G) If a line on an original log sheet contains a value only in the net column, apply
Guideline 20 in this protocol and make a notation in the COMMENTS field about the
judgment made, such as, "Readings are background readings, but were recorded as net."
29. (R) We are trying to code the precision of the measurements as the monitors recorded
them. GROSS and BACKGROUND data fields for a record should contain as many and only
as many trailing zeroes as are indicated on the log sheet. For example, even though the
previous line may indicate gross to be 0.050, if the current line on the log sheet is recorded as
0.35, that is what is to be entered in the GROSS field of the data base.
30. (G) [A] If the log sheet indicates that several measurements were taken over time at one
location and if the background value is not recorded along with each gross value, but is
recorded for the first measurement, this value should be used as the BACKGROUND data
field for each of the measurements.
[B] If no background value is recorded for the first measurement, then a null, "-0-",
should be entered in the BACKGROUND field.
31. (G) If "instrument contamination" is suspected about a reading on a log sheet or from a
report and the estimated contamination level is given, use the estimated contamination level
for the BACKGROUND value in the data base and record the indicated reading as the
GROSS value, (added 3/19/88)
42
-------
32. (R) [A] If the time field on a log sheet is blank, the associated reading is not blank, and a
time cannot be estimated from the surrounding readings, enter the code "9999" for the TIME
value in the data base and a comment in the COMMENT field indicating that "The actual time
of this reading was not recorded on the log sheet." (revised 4/7/88)
[B] If the time field on a log sheet is blank, the associated reading is not blank, and a time
can be estimated from the times and odometer readings of the surrounding radiological
measurements, the estimated time should be entered into the TIME field of the data base with
an entry in the COMMENT field like: "The time for this reading was not recorded on the log
sheet, but fell between XXXX and XXXX. This is an estimate of the time." (added 4/7/88)
33. (G) If upon inspection of a fallout pattern, a gross reading > 0.06 mR/h with no
background value on the log sheets may be interpreted as a background reading (i.e., probably
residual from a previous event(s)), then the gross reading should be entered in the GROSS and
BACKGROUND fields of the data base. An entry should also be made in the COMMENT
field such as: "Gross readings are attributed to residual fallout from previous test(s)." (added
4/4/88)
34. (R) If a zero value is reported in the net column with no readings recorded in the gross and
background columns, then a null, "-0-", should be entered in the GROSS and
BACKGROUND fields of the data base. An entry in the COMMENTS field should also be
added as: "A zero in the net column is interpreted as a background reading." (added 4/7/88)
35. (G) The NUFDC field on the printouts was meant to provide a flag only for those
"gamma" readings that would be considered inappropriate to use in making estimates for the
Town Data Base. The situations that we feel this most likely covers are readings taken inside or
adjacent to vehicles or buildings, readings taken at a height of other than 3 ft., readings where
the monitor noted on the log that the instrument was erratic, and readings where a notation on
the log indicates that the reading is inappropriate. Only gamma readings need to be marked,
because others are automatically ignored in the estimation program. Other guidelines in this
protocol have been set up to take into account the effect of other possibly inappropriate
readings for the estimates, (added 4/7/88)
36. (G) We ask that special care be taken to make corrections or additions to the printouts
legible so the data entry clerks will not have to interpret what was meant. It is not necessary to
cross out the whole GROSS or BACKGROUND value if a change is being made to account for
the significant digits; extra zeroes can be crossed out or zeroes can be added on to the end of the
number. It is also important that when changes are made to corrections on the printouts, the
final correction and what is to be corrected are obvious. Thank you for your cooperation.
(added 4/7/88)
37. When the instrument type used for a reading cannot be deduced from the log sheet or
report but it can be determined that the instrument was either an MX-5 or a TIB, then the
following rules should be used to specify the instrument type in the INSTRUMENT field of the
data base:
43
-------
If the reading is: use:
<; 0.1 mR/h MX-5
> 0.1 mR/h but < 20 mR/h UNK
> 20 mR/h TIB (added 5/6/88)
38. Procedure for reviewing survey meter records obtained from reports and monitoring logs
(added 5/6/88, revised 10/3/88)
[A] Obtain a special retrieval that separates the records derived from the different
sources. For example, for some events, the survey meter type was entered as unknown (UNK)
for records entered from reports. Two separate retrievals, one for all UNK survey meter types
and one for all other types, each sorted by log number and date/time, separates the information
and makes it easier to follow.
[B] Compare the monitoring logs with the printout of all survey meter types other than
those designated UNK. Make changes and additions as required in accordance with the
protocol. If you use any of the records in the UNK listing, note on the monitoring log what page
number they are on so that your work can be checked easily.
[C] Then compare the monitoring logs with the report source documents making a check
along side each report reading for which there is an entry on the monitoring logs.
[D] Compare the unchecked survey meter readings in the report source document with
the printout listing of all records with UNK survey meter types. If the report readings are listed
in this printout, make the necessary changes in the source document number on the printout
and any other changes required by the protocol. Delete all other records in this printout that
are not usable.
