Surveys teams

Sample durations tended to be short, since the field survey team did not have advance knowledge of exposure levels to be encountered and wished to avoid overloading any of the sampling media. In most cases, the exposures measured proved to be relatively low and, as a result of the short sampling times, the loading of each sample was low. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the... 

The survey teams subsequently identified many large-scale sedimentary zeolite deposits and today these are known to occur worldwide in vast quantities. The occurrences vary from those of high zeolite purity (>90%), such as those located in California, to tuffaceous materials of around 50-60% zeolite content (as in Italy). Commercial mining operations are known in USA, Japan, Cuba, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Indonesia, Korea, Russia, and South Africa. Workable deposits also exist in Mexico, Greece, and other Balkan states. 

UXO specialists surveying an area for UXO typically begin by marking the site boundaries with stakes. They then divide the area into 5 ft wide search lanes by stringing surveyors lines across the site to stakes at each end of the survey area. The UXO survey team then uses the low-sensitivity magnetometer to examine each survey lane. 

Upon detecting a possible subsurface UXO, the UXO specialist will mark the spot with a pin flag or spot of spray paint. A team of two UXO specialists then will excavate the marked items when the magnetometer survey team had advanced beyond the area that would be hazardous in the event of an accidental detonation caused by the excavation team. 

A. The performance of a radiological survey may be divided into two phases a preparatory phase, and an execution phase. The preparatory phase involves the selection, testing, and if necessary, calibration of survey equipment to be used the acquisition of materials necessary for recording survey results, establishing communication links between the survey team and survey command center, and finally the outfitting of personnel who are to perform the surveys. Outfitting may involve the use of protective clothing. 

F. The report of an area survey should include the name of survey team members, the date and time that the survey was performed, and the type of radiation detection equipment used in the survey. It should also contain the calibration date, and other remarks that may be helpful in evaluating the attached survey plot. 

The survey team shall report their results using the standard NBC-4 format. However, the report is identified as an NBC-4 ROTA report. Line HOTEL will indicate TIC or the specific chemical compound detected as the type of agent in all reports. Line GOLF will indicate the source of the release. Line GENTEXT will indicate any other information about the source as applicable. All other lines of the NBC-4 report remain the same as reporting a traditional NBC-4 Chemical report. 

Figure 1.5 Satellite photos confirmed the British Antarctic Survey team s measurements that the ozone layer was thinning over Antarctica. On this satellite map, the area over Antarctica appears pink, purple, and black. The color-key on the right indicates that the ozone level ranges from 125 to about 200 Dobson Units, which is well below the normal level of 300 Dobson units. 

In some cases the specialty of the doctor affected the position. For instance, the survey found that obstetricians, gynecologists, and internists were more likely to support medical marijuana than other specialists. The survey team speculated that because doctors in those two specialties are more likely to see cancer patients, they may be more aware of marijuana s potential for managing pain and the side effects of chemotherapy and therefore more receptive to using marijuana for medical therapy. 

The implemented system is not a real-time system, however the final results of each campaign will be available about one hour after the observations are made. This surveying team will have the possibility to discuss the displacements with subject related specialists before leaving the site. 

FurAermore, DMT surveying teams carried out control surveys both on the French and on the British side to guarantee a successful breakthrough under the English Channel in December 1990. 

The initial breakthrough between the British and French Service Tunnel drives was achieved on 1 December 1990 via a small man-access adit. On 3 December survey teams on the British and French side extended and connected the control networls through this adit and calculated and agreed the misclosures. 

A recorder makes detailed notes and the discussion of the workshop constitutes the majority of the report. Following the workshops, the survey team reviews the data and records key recommendations. 

Since 2010 the EUROCONTROL safety culture team has offered an after care service. In practice this means visiting the ANSP some 12-24 months after the survey to see how it is proceeding, how the actions are being implemented and whether they are working. An external visit can sometimes help remind the organisation of its plans and get them back on track. Additionally, if certain actions are not working or are encountering resistance, the survey team may be able to propose alternative solutions that have worked for other ANSPs. 

Credibility the credibility of the survey team will affect acceptance of the process and its outcomes. A blend of human factors (or applied psychology), safely and operational experience in the team seems to work best. The credibility of the internal coordinator is also important. A good safety champion within an ANSP is priceless. A key predictor in their effectiveness in this role relates to the quality of their cormections with both management and the operational workforce. 

To demonstrate the team selection and type of training received, the Site Survey Team is described as an example. The responsibility of the Site Survey Team is to enter the area of the incident, under carefully prescribed safety conditiems, obtain information pertinent to the location, physical conditions surrounding the incident, and collect Nuclear Accident Dosimeters (NAOs) stationed in the area. 

In 1852, Sir George Everest and his survey team used trigonometry to measure the height of Peak XV in the Himalayas from a distance of 100 miles. They estimated the peak at exactly 29,000 feet above sea level but arbitrarily added 2 feet for fear that others would think it was an estimate. The height of Peak XV, now known as Mount Everest, is 29,028 feet. 

The minimum skills required relate to the targeting method used and how data collection is organized. For proxy means tests, much of the work required for data collection using massive survey drives is contracted out to professional survey teams that will understand the questionnaire and survey techniques, but may know little about the program or social policy. Their job is basically to collect the data that determine eligibility. 

When several rectifiers protect a structure, it is necessary that all rectifiers be interrupted at the exact same instant in order to obtain meaningful measurements. Pipeline operators usually specify that at least two rectifiers ahead of the survey team and two rectifiers behind the survey team have to be interrupted in a fully synchronized manner. The amount of time between current interruption and depolarization can vary from a fraction of a second to several seconds, depending upon details of the structure. In addition, capacitive spikes that occur shortly after current is interrupted may mask the instant-off potential. Measurements made with a recording voltmeter are preferred as they can be subsequently analyzed to determine the real instant-off potential [16].
