Fractionation effects were simulated by the removalof a fraction of the refractory nuclides from the
calculation. In general, air drops were assumed to be unfractionated, surface and cratering Events were

assumed to have 0.4 of the refractory elements present, and all other Events were assumed to have 0.5 of

the refractory elements present.

Each Appendix contains 11 pagesof calculated results relating to one Eventin Table 1. Each set of 11
pages is marked Page 2 through Page 12 at the top and A2 through A12 (or B2 through B12, etc.) at the
bottom. Page 2 of each set gives the external gamma-ray exposure rates and associated values of total
microcuries per square meter at 30 decay intervals and at zero time. Note that the totals at zero time
include only the nuclideslisted in Pages 3 through 12,not all the nuclides present at zero time. Calculated
values for each radionuclide at various decayintervals are given in the remaining pages—from 1 to 21 hin
Pages 3-7, from 1 to 300 d in Page 8-11, and from 1 to 50 y in Page 12. Unless otherwise indicated, the

value for each nuclide at zero timeis the result of a radiochemical measurement. The measurements were

performed on debris samples taken by aircraft approximately 1 to 4h after detonation. The production of
nuclides designated by (*) has been estimated. When noestimate could be made, the value appears as

zero.
