0018933 eRneneai CHAPTER Ul RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1 DISCUSSION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE DATA It is noted that the achievement of project objectives 1, 2 and 3 depended wholly or in part on the proper functioning of the rocket samplers. Due to their failure, there are no results to be reported on the vertical and radial distribution of particles in the clouds, which was objective 3. However, objectives 1 and 2 were partially met'and 4 was fully met by the aircraft - samples. ° Referring to the nuclides listed in Section 1.3.5, it is to be abserved that those in group 2, namely sr89, y?!, cs136, Ce! 44, Eu! 56 and y237, were included for the purpose of developing a general background of information on nuclide fractionation, This material may serve as the basis for a separate report, but it is not being considered here since it was not a primary concern of Project 2.8. Only the data which has a bearing on the distribution of the nuclides sr?° and Cs!37 in the fallout will be covered in this chapter. The radiochemical results for each of the four different types of samples collected each contribute something to the overall evaluation, 3,1.1 Cloud Data.
