The inhalation hazard of radioactive fallout.
The inhalation hazard of fallout particles from a nuclear ground burst has been evaluated with the ICRP Task Group Lung Model and the DELFIC fallout model for the 0.5-kt to 10-Mt yield range. It was found that for the conditions considered in this work, the inhalation of fallout particles does not present a significant radiological hazard.
