seen and the uranium,
fallout,

in this case,

as well, as if we talk about global

it's mainly due to thermonuclear explosions which produce a very

large neutron flux and substantially change the ratio of plutonium-240 to
-239..

Now, from the Test Site, we essentially have all

fission devices

that did not produce such large neutron fluxes, so that's the basic reason
why the- ratio of plutonium-240 to -239 is different for the Nevada material
as opposed to global fallout.
The next viewgraph (LRA-45) are some material from EML that I won't go
through in any_gfeat detail.

It's been presented a couple of different

10

times, but, just ta emphasize that this technique has been worked out by

11

EML that you can cateulate the ratio of (total) plutonium from Nevada to

12

that of global

13

the ratio of plutonium-245to -239 in your sample and then you know what it

14

should be for global falloutand what it should be for Nevada fallout.

The other

equation is that the total plutonium in the sample has to represent the sum

of the two sources; combine that equation with theather one, and then you

can come up with the amount of global fallout in that—sample and then, what
