ABSTRACT
The data for gummed film fallout measurements through December 1959
are reported,

While the initial purpose of the gummed film network was to

determine the geographic distribution and time,of arrival of fallout, considerable effort has been devoted to computation of strontium 90 deposition
and infinity gamma dose.

These latter computations have been satisfactory

for the period of observation and furnish data for locations not covered by
other types of measurement.
Detailed comparisons are made between strontium 90 estimates from
gummed film and analyses made on pot and soil samples,

Comparable tests

of the gamma dose estimate are not possible,

The bulk of the report consists of summary tables for each gummed
film station listing the monthly estimates of strontium 90 deposition and

barry

infinity gamma dose,
