Ob jectives

The objectives of this work were to study the distribution of certain
nuclides within fall-out particles and to determine some of the differences
in radiochemical properties between liquid and solid fall-out.

Instrunentation

=

Total fall-out collectors were set up on the lagoon phototower (Mack),

=

the Project 6.5 barge, Engebi, and Bokonaarappu.

Only the collector on

Engebi and the phototower wre fully instrumented with collecting solutions.

The phototower station failed to operate because of a circuit failure.

Of

the other stations, only Engebl gave a sufficient sample to work with.

In

addition, a soil sample was obtained from Bogallua,
