In fulfilling the Environmental Protection Agency's responsibility for providing surveillance and evaluation of environmental pollution, a contingency response capability is provided in support of certain space vehicle launch operations. The plan described provides for the rapid evaluation of environmental elements in the public domain adjacent to space launch facilities. The plan is implemented during the final phase of launch operations of space vehicles carrying SNAP-27 devices which contain a significant quantity of 238Pu. Monitoring equipment includes FIDLER detectors and appropriate equipment to determine airborne and surface contamination.
