DISTRIBUTION OF THE RADIOACTIVITY FROM A NUCLEAR CRATERING EXPERIMENT.

Abstract

Radiochemical analyses were performed on fallout and particulate cloud samples. A few tenths of a percent of the non-volatile fission products and 10-20% of the more volatile species were vented. A large fraction of the non-volatile products fell out within 10 miles, whereas the major portion of the volatile products did not. (Author)
