Criteria for Use of Contaminated Food in Post-Shelter NEOP.
Abstract
Summaries are presented of selected reports bearing on the problem of fallout contamination of food in both early and long-term post-attack periods. Relevant factors affecting food contamination are discussed in eight appendices, including; fallout deposition; retention of small fallout particles on vegetation; half-life of fallout on plants; retention of large particles on vegetation; determination of radiation dose to man from small fallout particles on plants; comparison of dosage via milk and meat; dose from stratospheric fallout; and radiological hazard to man from long-lived fission products after a nuclear war.
