tte /The fractions for Oak are also trom averages, here in the light

and variable stratum, while for Walnut the stabilized condition shown in
Figure 3,1 is used,

Sample 980 L for Oak is not included due to the poor

sampling conditions.

The fractions of these nuclides remaining in the cloud after one day

are given in Table 3, 2.

These numbers are to be interpreted as the quan-

tity of material which does not come downin the local area,

The limits

assigned are derived from the variability in the data,

Of the curves for the fraction of Mo?? left in the clouds, the one for

the water surface burst shows to a considerable degree the behaviour anticipated when the project was planned,

On the reef shot, the points appear

to be fluctuating around a fraction of 0, 11, whereas for the land surface

detonation there is insufficient data to do anything but extrapolate beyond

6,5 hours,

Since it is likely that the fission ratios would be aroun
