OSTI ID:5633475

Data are presented on levels of radioactivity due to fallout in samples of airborne particulates, precipitation, milk, surface water, and drinking water collected throughout the US during 1963. Data are included from air-monitoring networks in Canada, Mexico, Pan America, and along the 80th meridian, and measurements of Sr/sup 90/ in milk and drinking water collected at various sampling stations throughout the US. Results are included from a preliminary survey of radioactivity at Hanford Atomic Products Operation, Richland, Washington, during 1962 are summarized. Two low-yield underground nuclear detonations at the Nevada Test Site were reported during December 1963. A separate abstract was prepared for one section of this report.
