wind levels which was thought by Peterson to be important. An additional modification included a turbulent wake correction to large granules falling from the

Stratosphere.

Parameters for a tropical atmosphere were incorporated into gran-

ule fall velocity calculations. An assumption was made that theactivity per
granule increased as the cube of granule radius increased. The analytical

approach has been described by Peterson (Pe8l).

2. Comparison of Peterson's Whole-Body Dose Estimates. The cumulated
whole-body dose was integrated from the onset of fallout to evacuation time.
Peterson calculated the diffusion of fallout using computer codes and upper-air
wind-level patterns. Peterson's results for whole-body dose were. compared to es-

timates by Dunning (JCAES7) and Sondhaus (Cr56), and an estimate based on our

analysis of Bikini ash. Sondhaus's work was detailed (S055); the whole-body
dose was based on exposure-race measurements and a range of assumed times for
the onset and cessation of fallout. Sondhaus's best estimate of whole~body dose
ig given in Table -2, as are Peterson's estimate, the Dunning estimate, and the

Bikini ash result (see column labeled ‘This Report').

The values for whole-body dose estimated by Dunning and Sondhaus, and
those estimated by the method indicated in Section II.D of this report are in
