Sampling Sought
A budget request for
$l5OO in equipment for mon
itoring for radiation at Capitol
has been submitted by Dr.
Jerry South, Dean of Student
Affairs.
Shortly after coming back
after the TMI accident,
South’s office worked on a
plan to have the campus
monitored for radiation,
South said. He contacted
University Park's Dr. Rodger
Granlund, Health Physicist
who recommended two gei
ger counters and a doci
meter.
Granlund explained that
with geiger counters, differ
ent types of radiation could
be monitored, and with the
docimeter, accumulated
doses to personnel could be

Air sampling couldn't be
done with the recommended
equipment, but noble gases
could be monitored. “It
wouldn’t have the accuracy
of more expensive, more
sophisticated equipment,"
Granlund said. According to
Granlund, the recommended
equipment is fairly easy to
work.
In the event of unreported,
excessive radiation releases
in the environment, the e
quipment "could give you an
idea that something's
wrong," Granlund said. He
explained that there is as
much as 15 to 20 percent
variation in daily radiation in
the area around campus. "If
the amount of daily radiation
doubled or tripled, this would
be an indication that some
thing is wrong. After dis
covering this, you may want
to have it verified with a
nother monitoring station,”
he said.
South plans to meet with
Dwayne Smith next week to
determine if the budget re
quest for the equipment will
be approved. If approved, the
money for the equipment will
be available around July. The
equipment would arrive eight
or ten weeks later, according
to South.
If Capitol gets the equip
ment, people on campus will
be trained by experts from U.
Park to read and work the
equipment properly.
