Introduction to in-situ techniques for radiological characterization of sites

9.4.1 Survey in Surakhany


The Surakhany site was the largest surveyed near Baku at approximately 160 000 m2, or the size of about 22 standard football/soccer fields. Maps providing the measurement transect paths with geo-located gamma dose rate measurement data is provided in figures a through c. None of the measurements exceeded 280 nSv/hr, which is the gamma dose rate comprised of the 200 nSv/hr criterion plus the assumed background value of 80 nSv/hr.
