                            ABSTRACT






The Southwestern Radiological Health Laboratory of the U. S.  Public



Health Service performed off-site  radiological surveillance for nine



announced events during the period from July through December 1965.



This surveillance is conducted in the public areas surrounding the



Nevada Test Site under a Memorandum of Understanding with the



U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. No reactor experiments were



conducted during this time.





During the six month period there  was no release of radioactivity



which was detected off-site.  Also during this period an underground



test was conducted in Alaska as part of the Vela Uniform program.



No radioactivity was released following this detonation.





Analysis of all sampling and surveillance performed  during the six



month period indicates that the  safety criteria established by the



Atomic Energy Commission for the off-site population were not



exceeded.

                       I.  INTRODUCTION






During the period July through December 1965,  nine announced under-



ground nuclear tests were conducted by the U. S. Atomic Energy Com-



mission at their Nevada Test Site as a part of Operation Flintlock.



In addition, Project Longshot was conducted underground on Amchitka



Island in the Aleutian Chain as part of the Vela Uniform program.



The U. S.  Public Health Service carried out a program of radiological



surveillance of the public areas off-site for the Operational Safety



Division of the AEC's Nevada Operations Office  under a Memorandum



of Understanding between the U.  S.  Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)



and the  U.  S. Public Health Service (PHS).





The Off-Site Radiological Safety  Program of the Southwestern Radio-



logical Health Laboratory (SWRHL) conducted its program of radio-



logical monitoring and environmental sampling in the off-site areas



surrounding  the restricted area enclosed within  the Nevada Test Site



and the Nellis Air Force Range.   This overall complex of the  Nevada



Test Site (NTS) and  the Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR) includes the



Nuclear Rocket Development Station (NRDS) and the Tonopah Test



Range (TTR) and for simplicity will be called the test range complex



throughout this report.  Although routine sampling and monitoring



was done within a 300-mile radius  around the test range complex,



surveillance was extended as  necessary to provide adequate coverage.





This report describes the methods and equipment used and summar-



izes the data collected during the six month period.

-------
                II.  OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES

A.   Ground Monitoring
.Mobile monitoring teams were deployed in the off-site area before
each event to locations most likely to be affected by a release of radio-
active material.   If a  release had occurred,  the teams would have
conducted a ground monitoring program directed from .Control Point
headquarters via two-way radio communications.  Ground monitoring
would  then continue  until activity levels became too low to necessitate
further monitoring.
Each monitor was equipped with an Eberline  E-500B, a Precision
Model 111 Standard  "Scintillator", a Beckman MX-5, and a Tracer-
lab AN/PDR TIB.  The  Eberline E-500B has a range of 0 to 200 milli-
roentgens per hour (mR/hr) beta-gamma detection in four scales with
an external halogen  filled GM tube and a 0 to 2000 mR/hr range,
gamma only,  from an internal Anton 302 tube.  The  Precision Model
111 Standard  "Scintillator" was used primarily for low level detection
since it provides a range of 0 to 5 mR/hr in six scales.  The Beckman
MX-5  instrument  has  a range of 0 to 20 mR/hr in three scales.   It is
equipped with an external Geiger tube with a  sliding  beta shield.  The
Tracerlab AN/PDR  TIB has a range of 0. 05  to 50, 000 mR/hr in five
scales.  This instrument employs an air  ionization chamber detector.
These  instruments are accurate to +_ 20%, and readings can be taken
to two  significant  figures.

B.   Dose Rate Recorders
To  supplement the ground monitoring program,  Eberline-RM-11 dose
rate recorders were utilized to document cloud passage at fixed  locations,
                                 2

-------
thereby allowing mobile monitoring teams to continue folio-wing the


release as it moved through the off-site area.  These recorders


utilize a Geiger tube detector and operate on 110V AC.   They have a


0. 01 to 100 mR/hr range and are accurate to ±20%.   Gamma dose


rate is recorded on a 30-hour strip chart.




C.  Aerial Cloud Tracking



A PHS aerial monitoring team was available for each experiment.


In the event of a  radioactive release_,  this team, equipped with


instruments identical to those used by ground  monitors, tracked the


effluent.  Normally an Air Force U3-A aircraft is used in this


tracking mission.                          '



Aerial cloud tracking is essentially used to  detect relative radiation


intensities and to indicate cloud position,  speed and direction.  The


information thus obtained is utilized to position ground  monitors to


insure comprehensive ground coverage and  subsequently better sur-


veillance.




D.  Aerial Sampling



The aerial sampling program was  performed by the Engineering


Development Program of the Southwestern Radiological Health Lab-


oratory.  The program used two C-45 aircraft for cloud sampling


activities.   Cloud samples were  collected by cryogenic, electro-


static precipitator,  and  mass air sampling techniques.   The methods


developed have resulted in measurements of cloud inventories -which


have been reasonably consistent  with  determinations made by other


organizations and other  methods.




E.  Air Sampling



The SWRHL Air Surveillance Network operated ninety-eight stations

                                                          9
during this six month period.  The net-work  now includes  stations
                                           d

                                 3

-------
operating in every state west of the Mississippi except Montana and



North Dakota.  Also, during October, nineteen stations were established



in Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.  These stations operated through



October and, in some cases,  into November.  The air sampler used



in the Air Surveillance Network is a Gelman "Tempest".  The "Tempest"



Air Sampler employs a Gast Model 1550 vacuum pump driven by a Gen-



eral Electric  1/2 hoursepower  motor.   The pump  runs at 1440 rpm with



an average flow rate of approximately 10 cfm.   The sampler is equipped



to use a 4" diameter Whatman 541 filter paper and an MSA charcoal



cartridge.   The total volume of air sampled is calculated from an



average vacuum reading (which in turn indicates the average flow rate)



and the total time of sampling.






F.  Milk and Water Sampling





The previously established milk sampling program from both com-



mercial dairies and private producers  continued throughout the six



month period.  Fifty-nine  sources were  routinely  sampled during



this period, most on a monthly basis.  A total of 204 samples were



collected from these locations.  In the  event of cloud passage over a



specific area, intensified sampling within the area is conducted to



document changes in activity.





Water samples were collected on a routine basis,  unless  circum-



stances dictated specific source sampling.  Both potable and nonpot-



able water supplies were sampled.  During this  period 218 water



samples were collected from 63 sources.  Most of these sources are



sampled on a monthly basis.






G.  Vegetation Sampling





Normally,  vegetation samples are collected only in the event of a



release of  radioactive material.  The analytical results of these



samples are used to delineate the fallout pattern.

-------
H.  Film Badges





Approximately one hundred fifty residents in the off-site area wore



film badge dosimeters throughout this period.  These film badges



were  changed each month and were  processed by the Radiological



Sciences Department of Reynolds Electrical and Engineering Co. ,Inc.



Approximately seventy-five station  badges were also utilized to pro-



vide more complete coverage.  The badge used is made of DuPont



type 555 film.  Dose, as determined from this film, is accurate to



+_50% in the 20 to  100 mR range and +10% in the  100 to 2000 mR range.






I.   Public Relations





Frequent contacts with the off-site  population, schools  and civic



groups  provided the opportunity to explain the role of the  Public Health



Service with respect to the programs of the  Atomic  Energy Commis-



sion.  As a result of favorable public relations,  a number of off-site



residents took part in the environmental  sampling program; all



routine  air sampling stations  except Las Vegas were operated  by



local  citizens, and many people volunteered to wear film  badge



dosimeters.






J.   Medical and Veterinarian Services





A Public Health Service medical officer was available  on  short notice



in the event any cases of a medical  nature arose as  a result of the



test series.  No such cases were brought to the attention  of the PHS.





An  Army Veterinarian assigned to the NVOO,  AEC, was available to



the  Public Health Service Off-Site Radiological Safety Program.



Veterinarian services were also provided by a PHS  Veterinarian.



Liaison was maintained with livestock producers  in  the area and the



program of wildlife and cattle investigation was continued.

-------
Semi-annual slaughter of cattle from the NTS herd and the Knoll Creek



and Delamar Valley herds was accomplished in cooperation with the



University of Nevada. Specimens from these animals were analyzed



for radionuclide content.






K.  Bioenvironmental Research





Another program of the Southwestern Radiological Health Laboratory



is Bioenvironmental Research.   The mission of this program is, in



part,  to investigate the inter-relationships among the  levels of radio-



nuclide contamination of air,  soil,  water, vegetation and milk.

-------
                 III.  ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES







All air sample prefilters and charcoal cartridges were returned to the



Southwestern Radiological Health Laboratory in Las Vegas for radio-



logical analyses.  Prefilters were counted for gross beta activity in a



Beckman "Wide Beta" low background (6 + 1 cpm beta) proportional



system which  has  an efficiency  of  approximately 45 percent for



0. 54 Mev betas.  After an initial count, if no significant  activity was



detected, the prefilters were counted at 5 and 12 days after collection.



In all other cases,  prefilters were recounted a minimum of three



times in the first 48 hours following collection.  The computational



procedure employed depends upon the assumption that a decay con-



stant can be determined for  each individual sample and that this con-



stant can then be used to extrapolate the activity to the end of the col-



lection period.





Each prefilter  selected and all charcoal cartridges were analyzed for



gamma isotopes by placing them directly on a 4"x 4" Nal(Tl) crystal



coupled to a TMC Model 404 C gamma pulse height analyzer viewing



energies from  0 to 2 Mev.





Detection capability of the system as shown in Table 1 is an empiri-



cal estimate obtained from previous data collected under the following



conditions:



   a.   Count time in days after fissioning  as indicated by footnotes.



   b.   Prefilters collect unfractionated fission products  resulting in



       a complex spectrum.



   c.   MSA charcoal collects gaseous fission products only (primari-



       ly iodines).



   d.   An eight isotope matrix is employed for computation and

-------
   e.
isotopes other than those examined are present in amounts
•which are small relative to those eight.
Natural activity on air samples is approximately  five times
system background.

Although the minimum detectable levels for water samples involve the

limitations listed in (d) above, the situation is usually simplified by

having no background other than that of the system.  For a sample

containing  all of the isotopes of iodine,  the error term on threshold

values  at the 95  percent confidence level  is  approximately equal

to +50%.

Biological  discrimination will limit the number of isotopes present in

a milk sample to relatively few.  Under normal sampling procedures,

this discrimination coupled with the short physical half life will tend

                                  8

-------
to eliminate 1 32I and 1 35I from the sample by the time it is counted.



At the 95 percent confidence level reported values for milk  are



•+10 pCi/1 or 10 percent at the time of count whichever is greater for



a 40 minute count.





After any release of activity from the NTS, milk samples are collect-



ed from dairies (processing plants), producing dairy farms,  and



farms producing milk for their own consumption.  Each sample  is



counted for 50 minutes. No attempt is made to recount samples



giving low positive values.  The lower limit of detection for gamma



emitters in milk samples is 20 picocuries per liter (pCi/1) at the



time of count,  and  all results below that value are reported as<20pCi/l.




All liquid samples  are  counted in 3. 5 liter inverted well aluminum



beakers  which are placed on  top of a  4"x 4"  crystal coupled to a



400-channel gamma pulse  height analyzer.  Overall detection efficien-



cy for the 0. 364 Mev photopeak of 1 311 is 6. 4 percent. A matrix



technique is  employed to compute the interference due to the  presence



of other  isotopes.   The input to this matrix is variable, allowing for



the simultaneous determination of any eight nuclides for which detec-



tion efficiencies and interference factors  have been obtained.  Actual



computation is performed  by an IBM 1620 computer.





Water samples are analyzed for gross beta activity by slowly evap-



orating an aliquot to dryness in a 2" diameter stainless steel planchet



and counting the beta activity in a low background counter.

-------
                          IV.  RESULTS







None of the nine announced detonations at the Nevada Test Site re-



sulted in releases of radioactive effluent which -was detected off-site.



The underground test conducted in Alaska did not release radioactiv-



ity to the atmosphere.  No  reactor experiments were conducted during



this period.




The only indication of positive results from sampling or monitoring



during this  period was in a few milk samples.  Some milk samples



collected north of the test range complex in early July 1965 contained



1 31I.  The activity in these samples is attributed to the Phoebus 1-A



reactor experiment which -was conducted on the NRDS on June 25.



The results of the Phoebus experiment are discussed in detail in the



"Final Report of Off-Site Surveillance for the Phoebus 1-A Experi-



ment" (SWRHL-19r)  and are summarized in "Off-Site Surveillance



Activities of the Southwestern Radiological Health Laboratory from



January through June 1965  (SWRHL-23r).  The results of all milk



sampling from July through December are listed in the Appendix.





In addition to the above mentioned milk samples, two samples col-



lected in September,and one sample collected in October contained



1 31I.  The values were on or near the detection limit for this isotope



(20 pCi/1).  These results cannot be attributed to any release, for-



eign or domestic.





Milk samples listed in the Appendix from the states of Colorado,



Idaho, and Oregon are not collected routinely but are the result of



activating a portion of the Standby Milk Network on a trial-run basis.



This network was established to supplement the laboratory's capability
                                 10

-------
to sample milk in the event of a release of radioactivity where addi-


tional sampling is deemed necessary.  Participating milk producers


mail their  samples to the laboratory when alerted to do so.  Occasion-


ally, as during this  period, a portion of the network is activated in


order to insure that the system is functioning properly.



The highest gross beta concentration on an air sample filter was


2.7 pCi/m3 at Pahrump,  Nevada in November; this value is at the


level of background.  No fresh fission products were found on any air


sample analyzed  during this period.  Additionally, no fresh fission


products were found in any water  sample analyzed during this period.
                               •

Film badges had  no  positive exposures which could be attributed to


activities.

-------
                       V.  CONCLUSIONS

Results obtained through environmental radiation surveillance during
this period indicate that no individual in the off-site area received
an exposure, resulting from Nevada Test Site operations, -which ex-
ceeded the guides established by the AEC and/or recommended by
the FRC and NCRP.
