IIt. SHORT-LIVED RADIONUCLIDES An analysis of radiation levels fram the short-lived radionuclides will require additional study. The topic is introduced here, however, to point out that based on the strontium-90 rates of deposition, the amount of associated short-lived activities may be sufficient to produce external dose rates comparable to background levels in some areas of the country. This could create some public reaction. UNCLASSIFIED CONFIRMED TO PE /OC BY AUTHORITY OF DOE REVIEWED BY DATE Wes DOF. ARCHIVES
