3.8 DISCUSSION Table 3.16 summarizes Operation Redwing initial-gamma exposure data, and Table 3.17 gives the total yield, fission yield, and relative air density for each event. Figures 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are plots of the Redwing initial-gamma exposure versus distance and the TM 23-200 curves for similar total yield. This method of computation neglects the effect of relative fission and fusion contributions to the total yield. Correction factors discussed in Section 2.3.1 have been applied to adjust the raw data to unshielded, betatron-calibrated exposure values. Shot Cherokee data were adjusted to relative air density of 0.895. The initial-gamma exposure from Shots Cherokee, Zuni, and Navajo at 3 miles was about lr. The accuracy of the initial-gamma exposure data as corrected was within + 30 percent. Figures 3.5 through 3.8 show the total residual-gamma exposures plotted on maps, These exposures were corrected for station shielding and spectral response of the dosimeters (Section 2,3.2). In addition, all the values from a given shot were adjusted to the same recovery time using recovery rates, and assuming a decay exponent of -1.2, Individual stations, such as the one on Site Charlie, may have shown reduced amounts of exposure because they were near the lagoon. The accuracy of the residual-gamma data presented in this section was within + 50 percent. 40
