During calendar year 1981 one man-year of effort on the part of the Monte Carlo Group at Los Alamos was committed to the renormalization of cross sections for use in air-over-ground calculations. Calculations of the Army Pulsed Reactor Division (APRD) measurements, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) broomstick experiments, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) pulsed sphere experiments carried out with the view to renormalizing the air transport cross sections are described in this report. On the basis of our calculations, it is impossible to conclude that there is anything grossly in error with the air transport cross sections.
