The high values of K, for the stations in the 35- and 56-numbered
series (Table 7) suggest that the I, values are overestimated by correction of the monitoring data! to 1 hr with the t~' function. The
adjustment of the two apparently different sets of reported A, values:
to a midvalue rather than correction of one of the two sets of data to

be consistent with the other may have resulted in Ky values that are
either low or high by 25%. Further investigation of the reported data®

together with theoretical analyses may suggest what corrections are
appropriate.

The Dq terms of Eq. 12 can be evaluated using an appropriate
value of Keo The selection of a value hereis limited to the k,, value
for the fission products from the thermal-neutron fission of 2357)

because the i(100) and r, values, as deduced from the ion-chamber
measurements,

are based on the response of the ton-chamberto the

3507 products. The calculated value® of k,, is 3950 r/hr at 1 hr per
kiloton per square mile. The Dq of Eq. 12 is given by
