So this is another argasunt for the assay.

Ke really do

Now 1% aay te that in the bigge

boazbe the fireball stays hot long enough so that there's
some hore of incorporating thie staff in a sort of an
insoluable coating.

[ think ona would say there was so

evidence in ordinary fission produ:ts that the stuff is
incerporated in aluaines oxide or silica or something el

tiat is there when the vapor is formed in the sarly stag
of the fireball and as the thing cools this condenses

and you Lave molten droplets which entrain and dissolve

the fission product. This is a sechaniss, this sakes y
sort of rubles, where the thing is protected chemically
from the action of waters.

This would sake the stronti

less available to the biosphere and would be a happy th
but 1% does seem that in low yield bombs that the stront
ig just about as available as it could possibly be.

Now

maybe the ideas won't fit, but thie is another point and
another reason for it.

So we have abundant reasons for

doing worldwide assay on sy?e
