Analysis of Radiation Exposure for Task Force WARRIOR-Shot SMOKY-Exercise Desert Rock, VII-VIII Operation Plumbbob.

Abstract

The radiation exposures to Task Force WARRIOR troops who participated in Shot Smoky are determined and compared with film badge data gathered during Exercise Desert Rock VII-VIII. Fallout contours and decay rates are established and used to calculate total exposure, based on estimated stay time for various troop activities. Uncertainties are calculated for each parameter. Exposures are corrected to a film badge equivalent environment to permit comparison with actual film badge readings. Total equivalent exposure is calculated to be 480 mrem as compared with a 575 mrem mean film badge reading for the entire operation. (Author)
