Additional reports in this general subject area by Dr. Miller's
group include:
‘Vulnerability of Municipal Water Facilities to Radio-
active Contamination from Nuclear Attacks," ''Ciological Availability
and Uptake of Fission Products in Fallout,'! '’Plant Uptake of Radioelements from Soil," and ''Fallout Models and Radiological Countermeasure Evaluations. "’
I will not attempt to describe the intricacies of Dr. Miller's models
here, but the schematic outline (on the next page) indicates how comprehensive they are and illustrates (within the heavy black lines) the sub-
models that would be involved in estimating food and water contamination levels.

Starting with ATTACK PARAMETERSwhich include date and hour
of attack, yields and heights of burst, through a WEAPON MODEL, and
taking into account "soil and building composition, "' the 'nuclide yields"
are calculated.
These are then fed into the CONDENSATION MODEL
and CLOUD MODEL where the flow splits into two components; on the
right, those nuclides which go into the WORLD-WIDE FALLOUT MODEL,
and down the center, those nuclides going into the LOCAL FALLOUT
MODEL.
The LOCAL FALLOUT MODEL produces output data on "standard
