PROGRESS REPORT ON SAMPLING RADIOACTIVE DEBRIS , AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 1962

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4756037
Balloon flights to sample radioactive debris as 70,000 and 80,000 ft were accomplished by using a gondola equipped with two direct-flow units and ballast to float the system at the lower of the two altitudes. After sampling was completed at the lower level the ballast was dropped and the system ascended. The flight system and components used are shown in a sketch. Data are tabulated. An experimental study was continued on jet impactors for use in collecting particles above 100,000 ft. Results indicate that a multiple jet impactor of the type and configuration tested has essentially the same characteristics as a single jet impactor. (C.H.)
