Source: Kagaku (Tokyo) (Japan) v 25. Publication Date: 1955 Pp 636-637 Document Type: Journal Article Language: English Journal Announcement: EDB8101 (Technical Coden: KAGTA Information Center). Country of Origin: Japan Abstract: The radioactivity (..beta..- and ..gamma..-radiation) of the H-bomb ashes was measured over a period of 600 days by means of an electroscope and a Geiger-Mueller counter. Absorption by Al foils shows that the half-life is shorter for radiation of lower energy.; Major Descriptors: *ASHES -- RADIOACTIVITY; *RADIOACTIVITY -- DAMPING Descriptors: ABSORPTION; ALUMINIUM; BETA DETECTION; BIKINI; ELECTROSCOPES; FOILS; GAMMA DETECTION; GEIGER-MUELLER COUNTERS; HALF-LIFE; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS Broader Terms: CHARGED PARTICLE DETECTION; DETECTION; ELECTRIC MEASURING INSTRUMENTS; ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT; ELEMENTS; EQUIPMENT; EXPLOSIONS; ISLANDS; MARSHALL ISLANDS; MEASURING INSTRUMENTS; METALS; MICRONESIA; OCEANIA; RADIATION DETECTION; RADIATION DETECTORS; RESIDUES Subject Categories: 510301* -- Environment, Materials Monitoring & Transport 450200 -- Military Technology, Explosions & Explosives -- Soil Weaponry, Terrestrial -- Radioactive -- (-1987) & National Defense -- Nuclear 10/5/844 (Item 544 from file: 103) 00703744 EDB-81-011994 Title: Ionization of the atmosphere in the New York area before and after the Bikini atom-bomb test Author(s): Hess, V.F.; Luger, P.
