AMS Summary 2 Operations Summary – Aerial Measurement Systems totaled more than 40 hours of flights Plot interpretation – AMS data presented as exposure rate 1 meter above ground at time of measurement

3 Guide to Interpretation US radiological assessments composed of aerial and ground measurements and indicate amounts of radiological material settled on ground. Each measurement corresponds to radiation person receives in 1 hour at that location. Calculations account for multiple variables. Radiation is most intense in first days after release. Dose reduction achieved by evacuating early All measurements below 0.03 Rem per hour – a low level. Most elevated readings within 25 miles of Fukushima Daiichi. Measurements show area of higher radiation extending northwest from Plants.
