CALCULATION OF MATERIAL BALANCE
The fallout pattern was evaluated out to the 100 r/hr at l hr

contcur by measuring the areas between contours in sq cm and assuming
the arithmetical average of the peripheral contours as the average level

of activity for the area segment batween the contours,

for Shot 1 are given in Table F.1.

There is some

indication that the average value of activity between contours is not
arithmetical, However, existing field data do not indicate any one
cor.tinuous function that describes it precisely. Material balance data

Therefore, within the 100 r/hr at 1 hr contour 2.39 x 10*° photons per
sec are accounted for at 0+ 9 days.

Thus, 57 per cent of the device activity is accounted for.

FRACTIUN OF THE DEVICE COLLECTED IN TOTAL CCLLECTOR, STATICN 251,03
A radiochemical analysist® on the fallout collected at Station

251.03, where the gamma field reading was 1 r/hr at 0+ 9 deys, yielded a

value of the bomb fraction over a 1 sa ft area to be 1.35 x 107 3,
