Fallout Prediction PDF Download

DELFIC (Defense Land Fallout Interpretative Code) is intended for research in local nuclear fallout prediction and to serve as a standard against which predictions by less capable, production-oriented codes can be judged. By local fallout it means the intensely radioactive material which falls to the ground within several to several hundred miles of ground zero, depending on the size of the explosion. The code is essentially open-ended with regard to input data, it is highly flexible in that it offers many options that would not be available in a production-oriented code, and it strives to include as much of the physics of fallout transport and activity calculation, without resorting to short cuts, as is practicable.
