Gamma spectrometry measurements on evaporation residues of rain water collected in Vienna during March and April 1960 showed the presence of the relatively shortlived fission products l/sup 131/, Ba140, and La/sup 140/. This must be attributed to the nuclear test explosions on Feb. 13 and Apr. 1, 1960, in the Sahara. Since no noticeable increase in the total (artificial) radioactivity was observed in Vienna in the aerosol (separation by filtration) and in rain water, these measurements show the suitability of spectrometry for detecting a release of ""fresh'' fission products to the biosphere.
