The fallout contours fron this analysis indicate hizher levels
of activity 60 nautical miles distant than those existing within 10

miles of the detonation point.

The pattern is much wider than would be

Ovtained by scaling the surfsce shot from Operation JANGLE. For matters
of comparison surface JANGLE was scaled to 15 NTI by the cube root scal-

in> relationship.

This pattern is snown in Fig. 6.7 on the same map

scale as the S.ot 1 pattern presented in Fic. 6.6. Tne resulting conparison is interesting, primsrily fron the point of view of the extreme
Variation in the confizguration of the two patterns. Justification of
fellout contours of uigher yield devices having little or no relationship
to the scaled JANGLE surface detonetion contours is evidenced in an analysis of cloud dimensions with respect to yield. 11/ The reference indicates tinct a chance of cloud share takes place with increasing yields
becoming zrcodually flattened for hicsher yields. This flattening effect
would indicete a resulting wider pattern then one would obtain ty simply

pattern.

Tyo material balances were made on the resulting Snot 1 fallout
The beses for these balances were tneoreticul in one case and

experinental in the other.

(See Aopendix F.)

The theoreticsl calcvlations resulted in 57 per cent of tne
measured yield of the Snot ] device being accounted for witnin the

109 r/nr at 1 hr contour.

Also, the tneoretically calculeted fraction

of tne device deposited at Stetion 251.03 was found to be 7.0 x 10-16/sq CMe

The fallout in a total collector located at Station 251.03 was
analyzed radiochemically and the results showed 3.7 x 10716 of the device

was devosited per square centimeter at tais location.

Extrapolating this

retio over the fallout pat-ern after takins into consideration the vary-

ins levels of activity resvlted in acproximately 30 per cent of the device teins accounted for. This value is questionable because of tae
fragrentery data upon which it is baced. However, the two results indicate thet the fallout petter:. as constructed for Snot 1 is witnin reason.
