This rather simple treatment of how the value of M.(t) may depend

on weapon yield, downwind distance, wind speed, particle fall rates,
and on the mode of fallout particle formation indicates at least the
scope of the information required in the development of a reliable
scaling function from observed data.

3.5 MEASUREMENT OF CONTOUR RATIOS AND PARAMETERS EFFECTING THE OBSERVED VALUES OF THE CONTOUR RATIOS

DOE/NV

There are two methods for determining the mass contour ratio; each
requires a radiation measurement and a fallout sample. The most direct

method is to collect samples and weigh them (with appropriate analyses

for correction to a scalable mass). The second method is to obtain
sufficient pure fallout to determine the specific activity of the fall-

out and to determine, by soil sampling in the fallout area, the activity

per unit area. The fraction of device contour ratio can be determined
from the same samples of fallout and radiation measurements; radiochemical analyses of the samples are required.
