Radiological Survey Tool Set for ArcGIS 8.3 and ArcPad 6
Track: Environmental Management
Author(s): Roger Cottrell

The Radiological Control Operations (RCO) group at the Savannah River Site is tasked with conducting routine surveys for the detection of radiological contaminants in the environment. The Radiological Survey Tool Set was developed by the Environmental & Geographic Information Systems group to assist RCO personnel in this survey process. The tool set consists of two major components. The first component is a custom extension for ArcGIS 8.3 that will allow the user to interactively create a sampling plan prior to entering the field. Additionally, the extension will allow the user to upload field-collected data to the GIS with post-processing functionality. The second component is a custom ArcPad 6 applet. This applet provides the user with navigational capabilities to a selected origin point with the help of global positioning system technology, and the recording of the sample data results into a hand-held field computer via ArcPad 6 software.
