DETERMINATION OF MATERIAL BALANCE FOR SHOT 1 FALLOUT

PATTERN (r/hr at 1 hr)

‘In determining the meterial talence for a eiven fallout pattern,
it is necessary to relate the amount of activity acecunted for cithin
the fallout contours to that produced in the detongtion.

The gamma field surveys of the outer islands were made from & to 10
days after Shot 1. The following material balance was calculated for

-

time t = 0 +S ceys. Selection of this time eliminated the introduction
of any possible errors due to extr:.noletion of the field measurements ‘*oearly times. Furthermore, experimental data on the gamma energy spectrum

were availetle for this time period.
