SHOT 2 Only one station, George, collected enough fallout to be
analyzed. The small fraction NMD's were 12.6 and 10.7 p for the 2-hr
and 12-hr collectors, respectively.

sample was collected to be analyzed.

Not enough of the large fraction

It appears (Sect. 3.3.2) that

these particles were largely remains of Shot 1 fallout which had been

redistributed during Shot 2.
The small fraction NMD's ranged from 9.4 p to 20.0 m3 large
SHOT
fractions varied from 77 p to 127 pe
SHOTS 4 AND 6 Not enough radioactive material was collected from

these two shots to be analyzed for particle size distribution.
There was not enough fallout material in each collector interval

for a meaningful analysis; so the fallout from all intervals in each

collector was mixed together and analyzed. The only timing intervals
which can be compared are the entire cycling times of each collector.

On the basis of these cycles (2-hr and 12-hr) there is no trend of

particle size with time after shot, within the limits of sampling time.
Neither is there a trend of particie size with distance or direction

from ground zero within the limits of the area covered by the collectorse

The behavior of the cloud, which is discussed in Section 3.402,

is believed to account for the lack of trends of particle-size data.

The particle-size data obtained indicates that the Shot 1 cloud and

the Shot 3 cloud particles were both fairly homogeneous within the

limits of the area sampled.

Lack of data from Shots 2,4, and 6 pre~

clude any statements about the particle size distribution characteristics from these shots.
A difference was noted between the radioactive particle~size
distributions of Shot 1 and those of Shot 3, The samples collected
from Shot 1 were found to have 20 per cent of the particles under 5 py

which was 2% times as many as those collected from Shot 3 (Table 3.14)
