Their Building 125 intake is the sampling location.

“Weekly” samples are taken using identical equipment and rates at 11 stations

beyond the site (see topo map) and counted as above.

During the Oct. 31 = Nov. 1 period sampling was intercepted prematurely

to gain prompt data concerning the substantially higher fallout experienced.
