Download or read book Ground Roughness Effects in Fallout Radiation Fields Problems of Analysis of Measurements written by R. L. Mather and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'ground roughness' effects on the gamma radiation field from fallout are calculated and described on the basis of the uniform burial model. The dose rate vs. height curves are estimated with an empirical function for the buildup factor. Graphs showing the effect of finite angular resolution of the measuring instrument and the observation of the angular distribution are presented. The emphasis of the discussion is on an improved understanding of the meaning of 'ground roughness' and of the errors common in the measurement of that quantity. Methods of presentation and analysis of experimental data are discussed. (Author).

This book was released on 1962 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need has arisen for a comprehensive handbook for engineers faced with problems of radiation shielding design. Although there are several excellent books on shielding, they either do not give enough consideration to the many practical design problems, or are limited to special aspects of the subject. Recognizing the universal need, the International Atomic Energy Agency decided to sponsor the publication ofthe present Engineering Compendium on Radiation Shield ing. At the first editorial discussions it was agreed that, if such a book were to be undertaken, it would be appropriate not only to create a useful design tool for the practising engineer but also to include well-referenced basic data for the research worker. Although trying to keep the book down to a reasonable size, the editors have aimed at a complete presentation of the subject, covering and linking both the tech nology and the science of shielding. Efforts to make terms and definitions consistent throughout have been only partially successful, owing to the continuing development of new ideas. However, inconsisten cies that could not be eliminated are identified whenever possible.
