- W115425801 abstract "The residual radiological hazard which might result from the use of an atomic weapon air burst during a continuous rain situation was investigated. This required a consideration of atomic cloud heights and dimensions in rainy weather, of radioactive decay, of the scrubbing action by rain and other precipitation which brings radioactive debris to the ground, of the altitudes of precipitation levels, of the times required for the radioactive material to reach the earth, and of the reduction in the residual radiation due to shielding by surface features. A mathematical method taking these factors into account was devised to calculate dosage and dose rate. Calculations were made for yields from 1 to 14 KT. The results showed that for yields of 8 KT and greater detonated under the most adverse weather conditions the maximum residual radiation dosage during the first day does not exceed 100 roentgens. For smaller yields, on the other hand, the rainout of radioactive material under very adverse weather conditions might provide a hazard to personnel located downwind and outside the hazard area of initial radiation and other effects. This is due to the fact that, although the total amount of residual radioactive material produced by the detonationmore » is greater for the larger yields, the updrafts carry the bulk of this material up through the weather to an altitude above the level of precipitation It is concluded that this estimation of the hazard is sufficiently reliable for operational planning and that a full-scale atomic test in rain is not necessary to verify the magnitude and extent of the hazard.
