Abstract: An unknown radioactive substance, of a 25- hr half life period,
was recorded in July-August, 1946, by an ionization chamber at 6000 m
altitude (from an airplane), the content measured being about 2 x
10/sup -18/ curie.
m,
the content
In July to August,
found was much lower
1948,
at altitudes 7300 to 8700
(0.005 to 0.02
curie).
It is
surmised that the phenomenon might be traced to the atomic bomb
explosion at Bikini on July 1, 1946. Other hypotheses are meteoric
origin or a nuclear reaction due to cosmic rays.;

Abstract: Daily measurements of radioactivity have shown the passage of
many atomic clouds, and particularly the series of explosions in the US
and Russia, while those in the Pacific and Australia have been
identified in Milan. For the Australian explosion in October 1953,
there was no radioactive increase in the air in the Paris region, while
for the Pacific explosion there were measurable fluctuations but very
feeble. For the Russian explosions in August 1954, the fluctuations
were much greater than for the Pacific ones.;
