Project 2.6b - RADIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SURFACE
CONTAMINATION

Project Officer ~ R. C. Tompkins Objectives

|

The objectives of this work were to study the distribution of certain nuclides within fall-out particles and to
cetermine some of tne differences in radiochemical properties

ee pe re

between liquid 2nd solid fall-out.

Instrumentetion
Totel fall-out collectors were set up on Enyu, Rukoji,

a TNR tres

rers

arriixan, end Yokororyuru Islands. ‘On account of a failure in the timing circuit, the collector on Bokororyuru opereted before
the shot.

The collector on Enyu did not operate properly.’ Col-

lectors on Rukoji and Arriikan operated proverly.
xesults

Conparisons of the aqueous and solid phases were made, however,
@S shown in Table 2.6b-1.

Additional data will be covered in

Liter reports.:
