The back scales of the 'RL'
The scales on the reverse side of the calculator are
shown here. These deal primarily with determining how much
radiation exists in the fallout zones and how rapidly the rate of
radiation will decay.
Table 2 has factors relating to predicting how doses
of radiation will weaken (attenuation factors), Table 3 ,
The circular graphic in the center is Table 4, it
deals with various conversion factors. The outer white ring is
entitled "Loss, per thousand", the blue ring is entitled "Factors",
the yellow ring is for "Dose Level", while both the the red ring and
innermost blue circle are for "Time After Explosion."
The final table, Table 5, again deals with
attenuation factors, which are important during radiological survey
missions. |
