ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY ASPECTS OF NUCLEAR ROCKET FLIGHT OPERATIONS. Semi- Annual Progress Report

Technical Report · Mon Jul 01 00:00:00 EDT 1963

OSTI ID:4124426

A preliminary evaluation of hazards from RIFT operatiohs is studied with respect to environmental safety. Information is presented on source term, meteorological, and oceanographic data; fallout model and external beta dose considerations; demographic factors; radiobiological considerations in reentry of nuclear reactor fragments; internal dose considerations; computer program development; nuclear properties of uranium-235 fission products; and program schedules.
