Country of Origin: Japan BCSJA . ; ‘ Abstract: The radiochemical analysis of the so-called Bikini ashes which fell on a Japanese fishing boat, the No. 5 Fukuryu Maru on March 1, 1954, are described as of some 25 days after detonation of the bomb. The collected sample 10/sup 7/ counts/min.) was ignited and dissolved in 6N HCl, insolubles were filtered off, and the activity of small aliquots of the filtrate was measured. Total activity was estimated about 10/sup 6/ counts/min. Ru (10mg.) was added to the filtrate as a carrier, the acidity of solution was adjusted to 2N, H/sub 2/S was passed through to precipitate Ru as sulfide, and the precipitate was dissolved with HNO/sub 3/, H/sub 2/0, KMnO/sub 4/, and concentrated H/sub 2/0/sub 2/. The appropriate aliquot portion of the distillate was taken up in a counting dish and evaporated to dryness, measured and found to be 1.5 x 10/sup 5/ counts/min.; the activity was Major Descriptors: *FALLOUT -- RADIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS; *NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS -- FALLOUT; *RHODIUM 103 -- RADIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS Descriptors: ASHES; BIKINI; FILTRATION; HYDROCHLORIC ACID; HYDROGEN PEROXIDE; HYDROGEN SULFIDES; ISOMERIC NUCLEI; NITRIC ACID; PH VALUE; POTASSIUM PERMANGANATES; RUTHENIUM; SHIPS Broader Terms: ALKALI METAL COMPOUNDS; CHALCOGENIDES; CHEMICAL ANALYSIS; ELEMENTS; EXPLOSIONS; HYDROGEN COMPOUNDS; INORGANIC ACIDS; INTERMEDIATE MASS NUCLEI; INTERNAL CONVERSION RADIOISOTOPES; ISLANDS; ISOMERIC TRANSITION ISOTOPES; ISOTOPES; MANGANESE COMPOUNDS; MARSHALL ISLANDS; METALS; MICRONESIA; MINUTES LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; NUCLEI; OCEANIA; ODD-EVEN NUCLEI; OXYGEN COMPOUNDS; PERMANGANATES; PEROXIDES; PLATINUM METALS; POTASSIUM COMPOUNDS; RADIOISOTOPES; REFRACTORY METALS; RESIDUES + RHODIUM ISOTOPES; SEPARATION PROCESSES; STABLE ISOTOPES; SULFIDES; SULFUR COMPOUNDS; TRANSITION ELEMENT COMPOUNDS; TRANSITION ELEMENTS Subject Categories: 400105* -- Separation Procedures 450200 -- Military Technology, Weaponry, & National Defense -- Nuclear Explosions & Explosives 500300 -- Environment, Atmospheric -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring Transport 10/5/895 00647457 -- (-1989) (Item 595 from file: 103) INS-80-010750; ERA-05-028002; EDB-80-086982 Title: Ecological Research Division, Marine Research Program Corporate Source: Department of Energy, Washington, DC (USA).
