Project 2,2 ~ Gamma Dose Rate vs Time - P. Brow
OBJECTIVE
To measure residual gamma radiation intensit:’ as a function of

time at land fallout stations, and to measure the initial gamma

intensity vs time for eee air burst.
INSTRUMENTATION

Ay

3

Fallout gamma radiation intensity was measurei using ioniza-

tion chamber detectors, associated electronics ani time intensity
recorders.

The initial gamma radiation rate was measured using plastic
scintillators with photomultiplier and phototube instruments.

“

The

gamma rate is recorded in the form of a log scale and has a time
resolution of 0,91 second with a total recording time of 5 minutes,

Gamma rates from 10’r/h to 10°r/h are capable of being recorded by
this system.

RESULTS
The fallout gamma radiation appears to agree reasonably well
with the Project 2.1 data,

This is based on preliminary uncorrected

data, -

The gamma rate versus time initial radiation data has been
evaluated at only one point at the time of writing this report.
data point is in good agreement with the Project 2,1 data.

This

Additional

initial gamma radiation data should be available upon readout of magnetic tape recordings.
