FRACTIONATION 4. ILLUSTRATIVE CALCULATIONS OF THE EFFECT OF RADIONUCLIDE FRACTIONATION ON EXPOSURE-DOSE RATE FROM LOCAL FALLOUT

Abstract

This report illustrates a proposed definition of surface density of contamination for the deposit of fractionated fallout. The illustrations employed give estimates of the dependence of exposure-dose rate on the degree of radionuclide fractionation and of the sensitivity of this dependence to independent fission yield input data, total yield of the device, and time of exposure.
