The next slide. This is an ettempt to explain something tha
Colonel Lulejian's data én terms of the fraction which is
finction of the height of burst and yield,

came out of

nged as 0

As a matter of fact

it was

presented to us as a function of a ratio, the ratio being height

over yield

to the 1/3 power, and thare seams to be some consistency in Bhe fact that
st & gurface burst vhen this ratio was sero, height was

large fraction. There is differing opinion betveen some cf bhe people vho
studied the JANGLE surface shot, which is the only Nevada gurface shot that
we can point to.

As we go

of this ratio ve approach sero scavenging, and the interest

was that sero scavenging occurred when the firebal. was ox

This is the alr burst -~ I doa't think we need to comment on/that. The

mushroom goes up, the dust colum is always formed, but it paver roaches
the mushroom, #0 we wouldn't expect any dust scavenging.

Te

have dust going ughnd mixing with the hot fireball when it’s[still in on
early stage, and then I think in this case we vould expect 1 without going
into any more detail than just saying that the dust and the molten and
yaporized radicactive material wore together.
