Abstract
To account for the 2nd wave of radioactivity which reached Wellington 38 to 54 hrs after the blast in Woomera, Australia, it is apparently necessary to assume the material started from a height of 22,000 to 25,000 ft. The dust was dispersed downward by eddy diffusion and carried by lower level atmospheric circulations to New Zealand. The 1st wave which occurred 30 hrs after the blast remains unexplained.
