They also

ve neutralized rapidly by the large atmospherics ion contest, so
4t appears that we could not invoke any electrical charges

as

Mowevor, if we just went back

more or less classical mechanical model and looked at
Brownian in motion would do, where we had certain concentfatian
of cloud droplets and a certain concentration of radioactive

of less than about .01 microns to the cloud droplets...
quite effective in the course of an hour,

"hen we ge to

lerger particle, that 42 between .Ol micron and about 1
then Brownian motion becomes quite unimportent and the

turbulent motion would bring these particles togethers, T| hope
you will stop me, Sten, if I say anything that is differibg .
from your findings,

The turbulent motion can account for es

Blow collection by the cloud droplets of the radioactive
