Summary:

A method was developed for determining radiation doses resulting from a rainout of fission fragments from a reactor accident. Sample rainouts are calculated for three different values of the diffusion parameter in Sutton's equation. The basic conclusion drawn from a comparison of dosage from rainout or from over-head clouds is that rainout is not the most important contributing factor to radiation hazards. In certain marginal cases, rainout plus cloud radiation may lead to lethal doses. (W.D.M.)
