integral exposure rate spectra, and exposure rate angular
distributions heretofore not available.
In addition, we discuss

sensitivity of the data to source energy, source depth

distribution in the soil,

and detector height above the

interface.
The calculations were carried out using a
combination of the P-3 and DP-1 polynomial expansion matrix

equation method for solving the two media transport problem??,
Comparison of these results with those obtained using the

infinite medium moments method based on buildup factors

indicated that the latter method was probably fairly accurate
(410%)

for detector positions close to the

interface but may

have been significantly in error far from the interface,

especially for low energy sources distributed in the soil a).

In addition to the specific calculations of the differ-

ential energy spectra, integral exposure rate spectra, and
exposure rate angular distributions, the effects of varying
the soil composition, moisture content, and density are

considered together with an evaluation of the calculational
accuracy,
