PHYSICAL AND RADIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF FALLOUT PARTICLES

Abstract

A survey has been made of the very large body of literature now existing on the characteristics of fallout particles. An attempt is made to summarize in concise form the ranges of physical and radio-chemical properties of particles of the debris produced by devices detonated under various conditions. The results of studies of the leaching action of various solvents on fallout particles are also summarized.
