What is Ground Roughness Effects on the Energy and Angular Distribution of Gamma Radiation from Fallout. about?
The effect of ground roughness on the radiation field above ground that has been contaminated with fallout from the explosion of a nuclear device was investigated on three types of Nevada terrain: (1) a flat dry-lake bed, (2) semirough terrain or land that has a known and controlled degree of roughness, and (3) typical wild desert. A modified Navy 5-ton six-wheel-drive truck was used as a mobile laboratory. A collimator and a scintillation crystal with a 512 channel analyzer were used to measure gamma-ray spectra at various polar angles. Dose-vs.-height measurements were also made up to a height of 40 ft. The project was undertaken to determine the importance of ground roughness as a factor in radiation shielding
