Larsen, R J

The total deposition of /sup 90/Sr in the Northern Hemisphere during 1983 was 0.3 PBq, while the total deposition in the Southern Hemisphere was 0.2 PBq making the total deposition on the surface of the earth during 1983 0.5 PBq. This is the lowest total yearly deposit since the initiation of the Environmental Measurements Laboratory's global fallout program in the late 1950's. The worldwide cumulative deposit decreased to 365.6 PBq. The last reported nuclear detonation in the atmosphere occurred at the Lop Nor test site in China on October 16, 1980. 13 refs., 9 figs., 6 tabs.
