Project 2.2 - GAMMA DOSE VS TIME
.

(P. Brown)
Objective
To obtain gamma rates vs time for various distances
from a nuclear detonation.
Instrumentation
Gamma exposure rates were obtained using scintillation
detectors set one foot above ground.
The detector outputs were
recorded as a function of time on continuous recorders.
Instrument stations on Bokobyaadaa and Namu had been
destroyed by blast
DELETED
making it impossible
to install instrumentation for close-in measurements.
Stations were installed on Airukiiji, Airukiraru and
Yurochi Islands, Bikini Atoll,
DELELSD
DELETID
Results
All stations operated, and showed negligible gamma
exposure rates for the period of zero time to plus 36 hours.
