fallout.
On the reef shot it appears that the sampling planes were just
entering the base of the cloud at the 55,000 foot level since there is a
sudden jump in the R-values at this point.

The material collected at

lower altitudes is depleted in both Sr?° ana csl37 and is not greatly
different in composition from the fallout at 1000 feet.

It is also noted

that the enrichment factors for both nuclides go through a maximum with
time for the samples from the light and variable stratum.

This might

be interpreted as indicating a concentration on particles of some size .

Somewhat similar data for the Mo?99-to-Kr 88 and Kr

2 to- Kr 85 ratios

for the first four hours following detonation are given in Table 3,4,
Mo?? to Kr®8 ratios are also shown graphically in Figure 3,4.

At the

lower altitudes the Mo’? is enriched and the Kr 8 depleted with respect
to Kr85,

3.1.2 Fallout Data,

The radiochemical data on the fallout samples

may he used to obtain results for the distribution of Sr°

90 and C8137 which

are complementary to those found from the cloud analyses.

The fraction

of the total Mo?? formed in the explosion which has left the cloud is found
by difference from the numbers given in Table 3.2.

Multiplication of

these figures by the sr?° and Cs!37 R.values for the fallout and division
