Abstract: The following nuclides were detected in the Bikini ashes by
radiochemical procedures: /sup 45/Ca, /sup 89/Sr, /sup 91/yY, /sup
95/2r, /sup 103/Ru, /sup 144/Pr, and /sup 237/U. The ion-exchange
method was used for analysis of contaminated rain water which fell on
the Kyoto area on May 16, 1954 from which the presence of /sup ‘89/Sr,
/sup 95/Zr, and /sup 140/Ba, was detected. Rare earths seemed also to
be present.;

Abstract: Reports on the detection of /sup 113m/Cd in any type of
environmental sample have been rare. The 113 mass chain yield is small
relative to other longer-lived fission products, such as /sup 90/Sr and
/sup 137/Cs, produced from uranium, plutonium and thorium fissions.
Also, only a small fraction of the 113 chain yield decays to /sup
113m/Cd. Salter estimated that the /sup 113m/Cd//sup 90/Sr activity
quotient in thermonuclear fission should be 0.003. He stated that this
ratio is in good agreement with data from a few samples measured in the
northern hemisphere prior to 1962 which have no /sup 109/Cd. This, to
our knowledge,
cO
was the first report of the detection of
fission-produced /sup 113m/Cd in the environment. Salter also
calculated that 0.062 MCi of /sup 113m/Cd and 0.25 MCi of /sup 109/Cd
were produced by activation during the atmospheric detonation of the
