19 ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number}

The general objective of this project was to estimate, from analytical data on cloud samples,

the relative distribution of certain radionuclides between the local and worldwide fallout
formed by megaton-range detonations on land and water surfaces, with particular emphasis on

the distribution of Sr?° and Cs!37 between local and worldwide fallout.

Specific objectives were to: (1) obtain airborne particle and gas samples by rocket and aircraft sampling techniques; (2) determine the distribution of radionuclides between two groups

of particles that differed from one another in their falling rates in air and that could be

considered representative of local and worldwide fallout; (3) attempt to determine an early
time distribution of radionuclides and particles between the upper and lower halves of the

Cloud and radially outward from the cloud axis; and (4) estimate the extent of separation of
fallout from gaseous fission products by fission determinations on gas and particle samples
collected coincidentally near the top of the cloud at various times following the shots.
