The third foil packet, shielded by cadmium covered polyethylene disks, was provided todetect
neutrons in the intermediate energy range. These dosimeters were mounted against a 10-by-12by-6-inch paraffin block to simulate the response when worn on the body.
The RTF dosimeters were recovered 7 minutes after detonation. The foil activations were
determined with an Anton pancake mica-end-window tube (1007TA) and a Model 192 Nuclear
Chicago ultrascaler.
2.4 DATA REQUIREMENTS
The data required included: (1) gamma dose rate as a function of time and distance until
approximately H + 20 seconds at the earth surface; (2) total gamma dose as a function of distance;
(3) neutron dose as a function of distance; (4) fallout as a function of time at a given distance;
(5) neutron-induced activity decay rate of NTS soil; and (6) rate of rise of fireball during time~
dose-rate measurements.
