Figure C.1 Schematic of reduction of readings to dose rate (mr/hr) at 3 feet elevation.
C.2 NUMERICAL COMPUTATIONS

The numerical values of B; (yg x), taken from Figure 20 of AFSWP 502A,are listed tn Table C.1

for each of the seven components of an average activity spectrum that is listed in the right hand column
of Table B.2.
Also shown are the tabular values of the exponential integral for the seven energy components corresponding to the elevation X = feet.
It is seen from Table C.1 the computation based upon average spectrum gives the numerical value of
the survey,

C.38 CONCLUSION REGARDING HYPOTHETICAL DOSAGE AT 3 FEET ELEVATION
The numerical factor just derived, along with the calibration curves discussed in Appendix B permit

the reduction of the raw gamma data (obtained in microamperes) to the desired terms. Figure C.1 schematically summarizes the whole procedure for reducing the underwater measurements to the desired hypothetical intensity at 3 feet elevation.
