are based mostly on activity which has condensed or become connected

to Pacific Island coral or sand particles and the results may not be

applicable to other types of environment.

Activity information for

each of several isotopes in each fraction are presented in the Project
26b report.

PARTICLE CHARACTERISTICS

The average density of all particles was about 2.6 g/cc. The
index of refraction of all Shot 1 particles was about 1.544.
The fallout material from Shots 1, 2, and 3, which remained
after the removal of samples for particle-size analysis, were mixed

and sieved through 420, 210, 149, 105, 74 and 44 micron sieves. (Not

enough fallout was collected from Shots 4 and 6 to make these analyses).
Fach fraction from each shot was separated into two groups.
