On April 1, 1955, a program of fall-out radioactivity monitoring was inaugurated in Japan. The facilities of the meteorotogical observation network of the Central Meteorological Observatory are utilized and samples are collected at 15 weather stations, one ocean weather station, and one oceanographic observation ship. Data are collected on the mean radioactivity in rain; the maximum radioactivity in rain; radioactivity in dust; and the radiochemical content of large quantities of rain water. Other activities include the inspection and adjustment of instru ments and a research program. A brief description is presented of the methods of observation. Data collected from April 1955 through March 1957 are tabulated. (C.H.)
