DISCUSSION
The data presents several possible moces of analysis.

Fallout

debris in rain water can be dated; its activity can be correlated with the
amount of rainfall; the relationship between total fallout and rain water
activity can be established.

It is impossible to predict that there will

be correlation between activity and amount of rainfall over the entire
sampling network because the amount of activity in the atmosphere is not
necessarily constant, but varies witn local conditions.

However, it is

possible that better correlation miz.t bo irvai oy investigatirg a fragcion
