DISTRIBUTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF FALLOUT AT DISTANCES GREATER THAN 10 MILES FROM GROUND ZERO, MARCH AND APRIL 1953

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4274278
Detailed studies of the physical phenomenon of fall-out were performed to provide information basic to the proper evaluation of the possible hazards associated with fall-out. The project functioned during shots 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 of Operation Upshot-Knothole. Samples and measurements were taken along existing trails and roads which crossed the various fall-out patterns at distances greater than 10 miles from ground zero. (W.D.M.)
