Book excerpt: Measurements of the intensity of fall-out gamma radiation as a function of time and distance from the Ivy Mike and King shots are reported. Instruments were placed around Eniwetok Atoll and at several atolls in a southerly semicircle with respect to Eniwetok. Contrary to expectatons the winds prevailing at the time of the Mike shot were south or southeasterly and no fall-out gamma radiation with the limits of detectibility was measured at any location other than Eniwetok. The gamma radiation measured on Eniwetok Atoll wa considered normal fission fragmen radiation which decayed with a t to the -1.2 power characteristic. (Author).

Book Synopsis The Gamma Emission of Radioactive Fallout (Gamma-Izluchenie Radioaktivnykh Vypadenii). by :
Download or read book The Gamma Emission of Radioactive Fallout (Gamma-Izluchenie Radioaktivnykh Vypadenii). written by and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gamma emission of a radioactive fallout determines, to a considerable extent, the radiation hazard of the fallout. Thus gamma-emission studies will indicate the contamination of an area. This book discusses the production of radioactive fallout as a result of a nuclear explosion and gives the characteristics of the gamma-emitting products, taking into account fractionation of the fission products. The gamma field in the air over a plane isotropic source is calculated; the dose rates, intensities, and spectral-angular distributions of the gamma emission in the air above artificial models of contaminated areas are given, for primary emitter energies from 0.32 to 1.69 Mev. The influence of actual conditions (roughness of terrain, ground which is not air-equivalent, presence of vegetation, weather conditions) on the gamma-emission field is shown. And finally, some methodological questions related to air surveys of the gamma emission of a contaminated area are discussed. This book should be of interest to physicists, engineers, geophysicists, and doctors studying the propagation of nuclear-explosion products, radioactive fallout, and the harmful effects of fallout. Some of the data may prove to be useful in geophysical surveying, for accurate calculations of the radioactive-fallout background. The book includes 28 tables, 223 bibliographic references, and 71 figures.
Book Synopsis Effects of Nuclear Earth-Penetrator and Other Weapons by : National Research Council
Download or read book Effects of Nuclear Earth-Penetrator and Other Weapons written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-10-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underground facilities are used extensively by many nations to conceal and protect strategic military functions and weapons' stockpiles. Because of their depth and hardened status, however, many of these strategic hard and deeply buried targets could only be put at risk by conventional or nuclear earth penetrating weapons (EPW). Recently, an engineering feasibility study, the robust nuclear earth penetrator program, was started by DOE and DOD to determine if a more effective EPW could be designed using major components of existing nuclear weapons. This activity has created some controversy about, among other things, the level of collateral damage that would ensue if such a weapon were used. To help clarify this issue, the Congress, in P.L. 107-314, directed the Secretary of Defense to request from the NRC a study of the anticipated health and environmental effects of nuclear earth-penetrators and other weapons and the effect of both conventional and nuclear weapons against the storage of biological and chemical weapons. This report provides the results of those analyses. Based on detailed numerical calculations, the report presents a series of findings comparing the effectiveness and expected collateral damage of nuclear EPW and surface nuclear weapons under a variety of conditions.

Book excerpt: If you have a fallout shelter, you need radiation detection equipment! If you have radiation detection gear, you need a manual! This 1983 book, created by FEMA, is the Gold standard for learning how to monitor radiation in a fallout shelter. Essentially a 'Survey meters/dosimeters for Dummies', it presents a complex and technical subject in a very simple, easy to understand manner that anyone can learn. General topics covered are types of ionizing radiation, how it is measured, symptoms and effects of exposure, shielding and avoiding contamination. Also covered are facts about fallout, use of a survey meter (V-715), the testing and use of pen-type dosimeters and even troubleshooting such equipment. Everything is explained to just the level needed to get the job done and keep people safe. It includes Action checklists, Exposure record sheet examples and a very handy glossary as well. A must-have reference inside every shelter! Sections include: - Checklists for Radiological Monitors - What is Nuclear Radiation - The 7:10 Rule - How Much Nuclear Radiation is Harmful? - How Fallout Radioactivity Arrives and Decays - Instruments for detecting nuclear radiation - How to get your radiological instruments ready for operation - Radiation safety procedures - Decontamination of People Caught in Fallout - Finding the Places with the Lowest Radiation Levels in the Shelter - Keeping Track of Everyone's Radiation Exposure - Checking Radiation Levels Beyond the Immediate Shelter Area ALSO: See our other book on fallout shelters, "Expedient Shelter Construction" and "Shelter Plans Anthology 1"

Book Synopsis Health Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation by : National Research Council
Download or read book Health Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation written by National Research Council and published by National Academies. This book was released on 1990-02-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reevaluates the health risks of ionizing radiation in light of data that have become available since the 1980 report on this subject was published. The data include new, much more reliable dose estimates for the A-bomb survivors, the results of an additional 14 years of follow-up of the survivors for cancer mortality, recent results of follow-up studies of persons irradiated for medical purposes, and results of relevant experiments with laboratory animals and cultured cells. It analyzes the data in terms of risk estimates for specific organs in relation to dose and time after exposure, and compares radiation effects between Japanese and Western populations.

Book Synopsis The Measurement of Energy and Intensity of Gamma Rays by Use of a Scintillation Spectrometer by : S. Raboy
Download or read book The Measurement of Energy and Intensity of Gamma Rays by Use of a Scintillation Spectrometer written by S. Raboy and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of gamma-ray spectra measured with a scintillation counter with an anticoincidence annulus is described in detail. In particular the problem of the determination of the energy and intensity of gamma rays from such measurements is considered. The shapes of the full-energy peaks in observed complex spectra are studied and an attempt is made to justify their description in terms of a Gaussian response function. The details of the statistical analysis of complex gamma-ray spectra are given and, finally, procedures which have been used to confirm the validity of error estimates in energy and intensity measurements are described.
Book Synopsis The Children of Atomic Bomb Survivors by : National Research Council
Download or read book The Children of Atomic Bomb Survivors written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do persons exposed to radiation suffer genetic effects that threaten their yet-to-be-born children? Researchers are concluding that the genetic risks of radiation are less than previously thought. This finding is explored in this volume about the children of atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasakiâ€"the population that can provide the greatest insight into this critical issue. Assembled here for the first time are papers representing more than 40 years of research. These documents reveal key results related to radiation's effects on pregnancy termination, sex ratio, congenital defects, and early mortality of children. Edited by two of the principal architects of the studies, J. V. Neel and W. J. Schull, the volume also offers an important comparison with studies of the genetic effects of radiation on mice. The wealth of technical details will be immediately useful to geneticists and other specialists. Policymakers will be interested in the overall conclusions and discussion of future studies.
