A METHOD FOR ESTIMATING DEPOSITION PATTERNS OF RADIONUCLIDES IN WORLD-WIDE FALLOUT,

Abstract

Some of the available reported data and data correlations on world-wide fallout are summarized. An empirical method, based on the reported data, for estimating radionuclide deposition patterns and the deposition rates is presented. The application of the method in computations for as sessing the contribution of world-wide fallout to environmental contamination, especially of food crops, in nuclear war studies is outlined. Computer input data for the model are summarized. (Author)
