National Laboratory at Upton, Long Island, New York beginning around June 1. The aircraft will be conducting a routine radiological background survey that will take about two weeks to complete. ,

This type of aerial monitoring has been conducted around many

  • facilities in the United States for mc.e than 20 years.

The U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) owned helicopter is operated by EG&G, Inc. af Las Vegas, Nevada. The surveys are performed by the DOE in cooperation with the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as part of a continuing nationwide program to monitor radiation levels in and ,

around facilities producing, using, or storing radioactive materials.

The flights will map the radiation profile of the areas around the two Upton facilities.

The aircraft will fly at altitudes of about 300 feet during daylight hours. Members of the survey team will also collect soil samples to help correlate the aerial data. The actua'l flight schedules for the surveys will depend on weather conditions.
