APPEND IX

The following extrapolation formula was supplied by Dr. K. %. Morgan
for use in correcting for the presence of ThB.

Decay constant for ThB

The value for k given in “Effects of Atomic Weapons” is 1.2, but

there is evidence that the value is closer to 2 during the first few
days,

Therefore, extrapolations will not be made until this value is

established for samples of the type used,
