PRELIMINARY STUDY OF OFF-SITE AIR-BORNE RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS, NEVADA PROVING GROUNDS. I. FALL-OUT ORIGINATING FROM SNAPPER 6, 7, AND 8 AT DISTANCES OF TEN TO FIFTY MILES FROM GROUND ZERO

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4264249
The operations of the intermediate zone fall-out program (10 to 50 miles) conducted in connection with Operation Snapper 6, 7, and 8 during May and June 1952 are reviewed. The maximum concentrations of airborne fission products in this area as determined by means of Hi-Volume samplers were 1.0 to 2.7 mu c/ ma. Particle size distribution of the air-borne material was determined by modified Casella Cascade impactors. Fall-out patterns were determined by gummed papers. Decay data are presented on a number of selected typical samples from each detonation. (W.D.M.)
