Method of estimating dosage to ground from a radioactive cloud /

Beginning with Sutton's diffusion equation, the authors develop mathematical expressions for the radiation dose to a point on the ground following the instantaneous emission of a point source of radiation. From a knowledge of weather conditions; reactor running history and the power of the runaway, one gas compute the beta and gamma dose to be expected from the following events: (1) material inhaled into the lung, (2) direct and scattered radiation from material in the air, and (3) direct and scattered radiation from material deposited on the ground by rainout or fallout.Ntis: ad157583.Accession No.: 57820."October 1955.""UC-41 Health and Safety ; TID 4500 (13th Ed., Suppl.)"Beginning with Sutton's diffusion equation, the authors develop mathematical expressions for the radiation dose to a point on the ground following the instantaneous emission of a point source of radiation.
