- Barrier Attenuation of Air-Scattered Gamma Radiation
- Report of a study that "was conducted to determine the attenuation provided by vertical and horizontal barriers exposed only to skyshine radiation from cobalt-60 and cesium-137 sources. Materials of steel, aluminum, concrete, and wood were used as barriers" (p. 5).
- A Comparative Analysis of Some of the Immediate Environmental Effects at Hiroshima and Nagasaki
- Report regarding the medical and environmental effects caused by the nuclear weapons that were detonated in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in 1945. Includes studies of wave overpressure and three tiers of blast lethality.
- An Experimental Investigation of the Spatial Distribution of Dose in an Air-Over-Ground Geometry
- Report containing results of a study that sought to measure the intensification of radiation at various distances from point sources.
- Ichiban: The Dosimetry Program for Nuclear Bomb Survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - A Status Report as of April 1, 1964
- From Abstract: "The approach to the problem has been as fundamental as possible with emphasis on quantitative measurements and calculations of the energy, angular, and spatial distributions of weapons radiations in an air-over-ground geometry. Spatial distributions of dose in various shields, including Japanese dwellings, have been measured. Techniques have been developed in Japan for verifying the location of survivors and accurately describing their shielding environments."
- Orlando Area (ARMS-II)
- From Abstract: "The data are presented as aeroradioactivity units or areas with similar gamma radiation counting rates at 500 ft., at two map scales: (1) generalized at about 1: 1,000,000 and (2) detailed at 1:250,000. The maximum aeroradioactivity in almost all the area was less than 400 counts/sec. Aerial measurements of ground radioactivity in the ARMS-II Orlando area were consistent with what was expected, considering the geology of the area."
- Parr Area (ARMS-II)
- From Purpose of Survey: "The ARMS-II Parr area survey was one of many that have been flown for the CETO since the nationwide ARMS program was started (1958). Figure 2 shows the location of the areas survey as of Apr. 1, 1964. The purpose of the program is to measure the present environmental levels of gamma radiation in areas around nuclear facilities and planned nuclear activities."
- Plates 1-3: Aeroradioactivity Map (ARMS-II), Orlando Area, Florida
- Maps of three segments in the Orlando area surveyed as part of a radiological survey, outlining "Radioactivity levels in hundreds of counts per second normalized to 500 ft above ground." Scale 1:250,000.
- Aeroradioactivity Survey and Geology of Puerto Rico (ARMS-I)
- Report containing an aeroradioactivity survey of Puerto Rico made on behalf of the Division of Biology and Medicine, United States Atomic Energy Commission. Topics include the types of bedrock noted in the area as well as their levels of radioactivity.
- Plate 1. Natural Gamma Aeroradioactivity and Generalized Geologic Maps of Puerto Rico
- Map with graded color shading to show levels of naturally-occurring gamma aeroradioactivity within Puerto Rico. Details about the survey and map creation are printed at right. Scale 1:250,000.
- Plate 1. Natural Gamma Aeroradioactivity of the GNOME (Carisbad) Area, New Mexico and Texas
- Map with graded color shading to show levels of naturally-occurring gamma aeroradioactivity within the "Gnome" test area in New Mexico and Texas. Details about the survey and map creation are printed at right. Scale 1:250,000.
- Plates 1-4: Aeroradioactivity Map (ARMS-II), Parr Area, South Carolina and North Carolina
- Maps of four quadrants in the Parr area surveyed as part of a radiological survey, outlining "Radioactivity levels in hundreds of counts per second normalized to 500 ft above ground." Scale 1:250,000.
