Results of Calculations of External Gamma Radiation Exposure Rates from Local Fallout and the Related Radionuclide Compositions of Two Hypothetical 1-MT Nuclear Bursts.

Abstract

This report presents data on calculated gamma radiation exposure rates and local surface deposition of related radionuclides resulting from two hypothetical 1-Mt nuclear bursts. Calculations are made of the debris from two types of bombs: one containing 235U as fissionable material (designated oralloy), the other containing 238U (designated tuballoy). Additional keywords: Fallout, Post war operations, and Acceptance of food crops. (Author)
