Abstract:

This report contains five studies concerned with determining the costs and effectiveness of decontamination applied to postattack recovery an a fallout environment. These studies cover the following subjects 1 The Effect of Early Decontamination of Total Dose This study describes the effect of a single discrete reduction in radiation intensity i.e., by decontamination on an individuals dose history in a t to the -1.2 power radiation field 2 The Effect of Early Decontamination of ERD This analysis is like the first in describing the effect of a single reduction in radiation intensity, except that an individuals dose is measured in terms of his ERD 3 Total Dose Approximations for Brief Exposure in a Fallout Environment Two approximations to the expression used to calculate total dose for a finite exposure time in a t to the -Kth power radiation field developed and the resultant error is estimated. 4 The Effectiveness of Radiological Countermeasures in Accelerating Postattack Recovery This study develops the parametric relationships that determine which radiological countermeasures could accelerate the postattack recovery process.
