iaterial Balance for Snot 1
Two material balances were made on the resulting Snot 1 fallout

The bases for these balances were tneoreticul in one case and

experimental in the other.

(See Aopendix F.)

The theoretical calculations resulted in 57 per cent of tne
measured yield of the Snot 1 device being accounted for witnin the
109 r/hr at 1 hr contour. Also, the tneoretically calculeted fraction

of the device deposited at Stetion 251.03 was found to be 7.0 x 10716/sq Cte
The fallout in a total collector located at Station 251.03 was
analyzed radiochemically and the results showed 3.7 x 10716 of the device

was depvosited per square centimeter at tais location. Extrapolating this
retio over the fallout pattern after takinz into consideration the varyine levels of activity resulted in acproximately 30 per cent of the device bteine accounted for. This value is questionable because of tae
fragmentery data upon which it is based. However, the two results indi-

cate thet the fallout patter: as constructed for Shot 1 is within reason.

variation in the configuration of the two patterns. Justification of
fellout contours of higher yield devices having little or no relationship
to the scaled JANGLE surface detonetion contours is evidenced in an analysis of cloud dimensions with respect to yield. 11/ The reference indicates tinct a chance of cloud share takes place with increasing yields
