SPECIAL PARTICULATE CHARACTERISTICS,
Abstract
The procedures developed and used in obtaining data on individual particles resulting from the four events of Operation Roller Coaster are presented with discussions of their accuracy and reliability. A very large amount of data on particle size, shape, color, and plutonium content was obtained. Less extensive data on uranium content was obtained by standard fluorometry. Special techniques for obtaining the density of irregular particles, identifying submicron radioactive particles, and observing the elemental distribution quantitatively in individual particles were investigated in depth; recommendations on further development of these techniques are included.
