Abstract: Many Japanese fishing boats were examined with a G-M counter
following the Bikini test of 1954. Decks and other washable parts were
weakly irradiated. Directional relationships of contaminants on
individual ships coincided with those of the prevailing winds. Ships to
the west of Bikini averaged 123 cpm; those to the east 1800 cpm.;

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 2/0 and CO/sub 2/ in
the air occluding radioactive elements. ;
