A REVIEW OF INFORMATION ON THE GAMMA ENERGY RADIATION RATE FROM FISSION PRODUCTS, AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE FOR STUDIES OF RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4241337
Presented at the Hearings on Fallout before the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, May 5-8, 1959. Available information concerning the gamma photon energy radiation rate from fission products is summarized, and the specific assumptions which now seem most suited for fall-out evaluations are outlined. Determination of the gamma energy radiation rate from fission products is broken down to two separate problems: (1) the relative variation in the energy release rate with time; and (2) the absolute level of the energy release rate at some time from a fixed quantity of fission products.
