21g base our interpretations on the familiar and forget to realize that in nature there are a wide variety of spectra of uptake, w and elimination. na wentioned the uptake on the side of the ships, but if you re- ry call, these ships were always upwind from the detonation and aoa We were also interested in the rate of transfer so the question would be how did the radionucleides that wow - WwW ror) are really germane to this sort of discussion cecause we would normally drift downwind work their way upwind and com 10 up underneath the ships and be attached to the ships? 12 these are problems of interest, 12 13 In the discussion yesterday Dr, Uarren We were interested in the disposal out into the open ocean, and one of the intriguing things? was the more or lesa preathing of the atoll. 15 16 17 18 19 20 Soa Of course, the nature of the atoll allowed the constant thrusting out to the open sea, There are other interesting transfers that we will be talking about, I hope, as we go along, The usual transfer in our terrestrialarea is from the land to the sea, but in these atolls there is a very appreciable transfer from the sea back to the land or the 21 limited terrestrial area, which comes from a variety of ways: 22 by transfer from spray into the vegatation, and we find that 23 this is a very positive transfer. 2h som extent, for those of you who followed the moverent up 25 on to the terrestrial area there, 26 along the coast from the downwind drift was transferred up 27 onto the land there, 28 29 30 This occurred in Japan to As a matter of fact, spray In the atolls the more specific ocean-to-shore transfer is carried on by aquatic birds and this is very complicating, a very complicated thing in the evaluation, for 31 the birds to transfer back on shore and upset the nice 32 spectral establishrent that one would establish when the 33 first fallout cores, You have this group cf nucleides; Stafford warren DOEJUCLA /0
