THE EVALUATION OF CONSTANTS AND PARAMETERS FOR THE CONTOUR RATIO SCALING
FUNCTIONS

.

Values of the mass contour ratio (evaluated at 1 br after detona-

tion), the specific activity of the fallout and activity per unit area

for several test detonations are given in Table 1 along with the distance
from zero point and the 1 M? scaled distance from GZ. The 1 MI scaled

distances were calculated from@

X29. WOM sy WerltoI2e

(26a)

x = 2.92 WO? 16 x, We 12 to > 104 x

(26b)

where X is the 1 MI scaled distance and x is the measured distance.
Ideally, x would be the downwind distance along the center line of the
fallout pattern or an average distance on the ground along the path of
the particles for those arriving at a given location under similar

meteorological conditions. Corrections in x for these factors were
not made in the data of Table l.

The values of the mass contour ratios for the several shote range

generally from about 2 to 200 (mg/sq ft)/(r/br at 1 br) with the values
for the underground detonation (JANGLE "U" Shot) and the detonation

2: Navajo) being the largest and the above

D*eurface detonations

(PLUMBBOB Diablo and Shasta) being the smallest .*

DOE/NV

#The discrepancy in the two M,(1) values for both Diablo and. Shasta
results from calculation of the first M.(1) value from the gross sample
weight including the desert sand blown into the collector by the blast

wave (or settled down afterward). ‘The lower values were obtained after
the fallout particles were separated from the gross sample by a magnet.

The fallout particles contained about 5 % Fe by weight.
