COMPUTATION OF THE TERRAIN FACTOR FROM
FRACTION-OF-DEVICE DATA
'
The computation of q was carried out by use of Eq. 25.

The values

of Dep(2)4n(2) and D, were taken from Reference 2 for U235 fission

products which were
o used to determine the rp,
values in Section 4.3.
The values of Dergcgt (1) are given in Table 11. “The rjcj values were
taken from Table
dnd the text of Section 4.2. The calculated values
of the terrain factor, q, are summarized in Table 12.

DOE/NWV

The terrain factors calculated from fallout sample analytical data

by means of Eq. 25 eontains sampling bias errors and errors in all the

input terms to Eq. 25 as well as the true terrain factor (i.e. error in
W, differences in the true fission yield factor per KT from 1.45 x 1023,
error in @,, b, and the gross fractionation factors). Many of these
errors are constant for a given shot. The sampling error is probably
one of major contributors to errorswhich are not constant for a given

shot.

The average values of q and q/q in Table 12 were calculated on

the basis that the sampling error was the major contributing factor
where values of q greater than one were obtained. This assumes that,

for the data used in Table 12, the sampling bias is most likely to be
on the negative side - i.e. the sampling devices used would tend to
