An Analytic Model of Close-In Deposition of Fallout for Use in Operational-Type Studies

Abstract

The problem here is divided into three parts: (1) a fallout model for calculating the distribution of activity with given wind conditions, (2) a climatologic model using existing climatologic data to provide a probabilistic treatment of the wind parameters in the fallout model, and (3) a biological effect relation between the distribution of activity and the biological damage done. A final section gives a summary of the important relations arranged for convenient reference. It also provides a tabulation of characteristic values of computed fallout contours from 1 KT to 100 MT for both H+1 dose rate and maximum biological dose. These tables are arranged to include those parameters usually required to establish templates for hand fallout calculations.
