The curves are shown in Figures 4.1] and 4.5.

From these curves the dose rate at H + 12 hr dj, for Shot 5 is:

THE AFTER DETONATION (HR)

Figure 4.5 Calculated decay (d/m) for Shot 5 fallout.

Results for Shots 5 and 6 are tabulated in Tables 4.6 and 4.7 respectively.’

In view of the close agreement between these results for Shot 5 and those calculated independently from the water survey data (Chapter 3), contours for the water
sampling results have not been drawn. Instead a comparison of the two sets of data
is shown in Table 5.1.
Shot 6 results were plotted and contours drawn as shown in Figure 4.6. Aerial
survey data (Reference 8) taken at H + 13 to H + 17 hours (Able flight) and H + 25 to
H + 32 hours (Baker flight) were used as a rough aid in constructing contours, especially
in areas where no water samples were taken. Relative intensities were read from aerial

survey traces.

Locations where aerial survey data and water sampling data coincide

were used to normalize approximately the aerial survey traces to dose rate values calculated from water sample data. Drift corrections were applied to the latter. Baker

flight traces were arbitrarily shifted 6 miles north and 6 miles east to improve the
fit with Able flight and water sample data. The shift may be justifiable on the basis of
errors in drift correction and position determinations.

tions were made for the aerial survey data.

Contours across the lagoon area were taken

from Proiect 2.5a data (Reference 4).

7 In this report no attempt has been made to apply a “terrain factor” to the calculated
results to approximate more closely the dose rates which would have been observed over

a real land area.

A terrain factor has not been estimated for PPG site conditions.

Ksanda (Reference 7) has estimated for Operation Jangle fallout area at NTS that observed
dose rates = 0.6 x calculated dose rates.
