is based on field test data from the JOHNNY BOY shot and further work
by Dr. x. J. Russell.

Dr. Russell concluded that a one-hour dose rate

of one r per hour corresponds to 6.4 microcuries of fractionated I-131

per Square meter and to 18.5 microcuries of unfractionated I-131 per
square meter.

Using a simplified model from the National Academy of

Sciences, National Research Council document on radioactive fallout,
this ground deposition in microcuries per square meter is multiplied
by 32.7 to determine the infant thyroid dose in rads.

The total thyroid

dose can be related back to the gross gamma dose rate.

For one value,

the 1.5 rad child thyroid dose related back to 2.48 mr per hour at
H+] hour.

Using a DASA model, documented in the form of graphs and

nomograms contained in Air Force Technical Manual 136-1,
ties of Atomic Weapons

the Capabili-

(TM 23-200), parameters such as fission to fusion

yield, height of burst, wind,

etc.,

can be applied.

It appears that

the ground deposition prediction compares favorably to the NRDL '"'D"
model.

Capt.

Dieckhoner pointed out that the Air Force is primarily

interested in howt~by-hour prediction and does not place emphasis on the

mr per hour predictions.
