Abstract: Analysis of radioactive dust collected on board No. 5 Fukuryu
Maru were done by chemical separation and measurement of ..gamma..-ray
energy and half-life of each species. Results are summarized as
follows, radioactive nuclide and approximate percentage of

radioactivity given: /sup 103/Ru, 4.3 to 57; /sup 106/Ru, 1.4; /sup
129/Te, 1.3; /sup 131/I, 4.5; /sup 132/I, 1.0; /sup 132/Te, 1.0; etc.;
