CALCULATION OF MATERIAL BALANCE
The fallout pattern was evaluated out to the 100 r/hr at 1 hr

contour by measuring the areas between contours in sq em and assuming

the arithmotical average of the perinheral contours as the average level
of activity for the area segment batween the contours. There is some
indication that the average value of activity between ccntours is not

arithmetical,

However, existing field data do not indicate any one

continuous function that describes it precisely.

for Shot 1 are given in Table F.1.

FRACTION OF THE DEVICE COLLECTED IN TOTAL COLLECTOR, STATICN 251,03

A radiochemical analysis+® on the fallout collected at Station

251.03, where the gamma field reading was 1 r/hr at 0+ 9 deys, yielded a

value of the bomb fraction over a 1 sa ft area to be 1.3 x 107 3.
