The Mechanisms of Fallout Particle Formation: Annual Progress Report for Period Ending June 1971

Abstract

The report presents progress during FY 71 at the Army Ballistic Research Laboratories on studies of the mechanisms of the fallout particle formation. The program emphasis has been on understanding the attachment (e.g., nucleation or condensation) of gaseous fission product elements onto various solid substrates. Several precise techniques have now been developed to study these phenomena and the agreement among the techniques is very satisfactory. The results obtained are significant in interpreting the radioactive distribution observed in fallout particles and in making general predictions regarding condensation behavior on oxide and metal substrates.
