Abstract
A description is given of the remits obtained from simulation experiments for the determination of the effect of ground roughness on the ψ field above an area contaminated by radioactive fallout. On the basis of the experiments and calculations performed, values were obtained for coefficients which take into account the effect of microrelief in regions with various surfaces (virgin grassy areas, dry steppes, and cultivated fields).
