The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from U. S. Project Trinity Report by Carl Maag and Steve Rohrer: found gamma intensities of about 1.5 R/h. Radiation readings at the
town of White, nine kilometers southeast of Bingham, were 6.5 R/h
three hours after the detonation and 2.5 R/h two hours later. Another
team monitoring in a canyon 11 kilometers east of Bingham found a
gamma intensity of about 15 R/h. Five hours later, the intensity had
decreased to 3.8 R/h. It was estimated that peak intensities of gamma
radiation from fallout on shot-day were about 7 R/h at an occupied
ranch house in this canyon area (1; 11; 19).
Monitoring teams resurveyed these towns about one month after the
TRINITY detonation. At Bingham, gamma readings of 0.003 R/h and
0.0001 R/h were found at ground level outdoors and at waist level
