Program Director - LtCol E. A. Martell, USA
Project 2,] - GAMMA RADIATION DOSIMETRY
Project Officer - Major-R. Dempsey
Objective
To measure the gamma radiation exposure at various
locations following a nuclear detonation.
Instrumentation
+
.
Film and chemical dosimeters were placed in ¢ inch
wall aluminum cannisters mounted on 2 inch aluminum stakes.
The detectors were placed at a height of 3 ft above ground
for the land stations.
The beach stations were set so that
the detectors were 1 ft above maximumhigh tide level.
Both
detecting systems were calibrated against an 11-Mev betatron.
(See Table 2.1-1)

Results
wo
produce a consistent decay expression for stations 34 thru 41.
