Abstract

Abstract Problems concerning wash-out of nuclear bomb debris are discussed in connection with prediction of close-in fallout areas. With adequate weather forecasts it should be possible to add wash-out from extended precipitation systems to predictions of dry fallout, for which wind information only is necessary. A diagram based on computation is presented, from which a quantitative estimate of wash-out may be made for locations within the fallout sector when bomb size, wind speed, distance from ground zero, amount of rain and top height of rain-producing layers are known or independently predicted.
