for detonations near the surface of land, and

_K(x,W) = 0.34 x 10710
for detonations near the surface of the sea. The mass considered in
these equations is that of the material removed from the crater. No
wind corrections were applied to the data prior to correlation; hence
an average wind speed somewhere between 10 and 20 mph is associated
with the equation constants.

The mass contour ratio is useful in esteblishingthe fallout mass
from fallout contour maps in r/hr et 1 br and in estimating the r/hr at

1 br from the decontamination data given in terms of the mass of particles
per unit area remaining after decontamination. The fraction-of-device

contour is useful in summing the total activity (or fraction of the

weapon) in fallout contour maps in r/hr at 1 hr and in estimating

(especially for seawater fallout) the surface density of the radio-

active elements (say, atoms/sq ft) for a given r/hr

at 1 br. The

specific activity of the fallout is simply 2pm, /6.0 x 10°3 K(x,W) moles
(of fission products) per mg of fallout.
