Shot6:

(At Eniwetok)

Over 1000 rf/hr in tue immediate vicin-

ity ofground zero, dropping to 17 to 32 r/hr on the islands westward

and 1 to 6 r/hr eastward from ground zero.

Within the atoll, there was no apparent trend of radioactive

rarticle size distributicn with distance, direction,or time.

The

approximate number-median diameters of samples collected ranged from
5 to 20 pe. Up to forty-three per cenit of these particles were under
10 pe Shot 1 particles appeared to be coral or crystalline; those
from Shot 3 appeared to be mostly crystalline, ashlike, or fused.
In particles from 149 to 1000 wp, the percentage of particles

with activity on the outside generally increased directly with size,

while the percentage of uniformly radioactive particles generally
decreased with size. These two types of particles accounted for
about 90 per cent of the radioactive particles examined. Activity
was scattered randomly throughout the remaining 10 per cent of
particles.
There was no apparent correlation between the location of
activity on the particles and their physica] appearance,
No conclusions covld be drawn about the presence or absence of
radioactivity in the base surge,because no samples were obtained in
the base-sirge region.
