Prediction of the Maximum Dosage to Man from the Fallout of Nuclear Devices. I. Estimation of the Maximum Contamination of Agricultural Land

Abstract

Part I of this report presents a semi-empirical approach toward estimating the maximum contamination of agricultural land by radionuclides produced by nuclear devices. It is based upon the maximum fallout levels observed subsequent to all previous tests of nuclear devices and applies to cloud travel times or fallout arrival times ranging from 1 to 50 hr and beyond.
