Where:

Kk = exposure rate at time t
I, = exposure rate at unit time
t = time
r = exposure between times t; andt,, where t = 10 seconds.

It is expected that the decay of the residual radiation will vary with device design. For
example, the presence of Np”** would tend to decrease the absolute value of the decay exponent
for a period of time.

Figure 1.1 Gamma exposure for 1 kt surface burst.
1.3.3 Absorption in Air. The absorption of unscattered gamma radiation in air is exponential
with distance. From a point source of mono-energetic radiation, the variation of intensity with
distance is expressed as:
