Electron microscopy of the Bikini ash which covered the fishing boat, fifth Fukuryu Maru

Abstract

The electron microscopy diffraction study of the ash produced by the H-bomb experiment revealed that the fine white powder had a nearly uniform diameter of particles (about 0.3 mm) and was identified as calcite crystals. A coral reef of aragonite might have been decomposed into CaO or into an atonic state owing to the bomb explosion and then recrystallized into calcite by the action of H/sub 2/O and CO/sub 2/ in the air occluding radioactive elements.
