The relatively light fall-out at Utirik (252 of the hot ares), hizher levels

of intensity at Bikar (East and downwind of the hot area, i.e..6 r/hr at 3
plus 33 hours almost in downwind line with the superimposed ellipses or hot

areas but definitely beyond the hot shadow), confirm the belief in che asscsed
