WORLD-WIDE TRAVEL OF ATOMIC DEBRIS. Science 124,

The dispersal of radioactive airborne particles from two nucleartests in the Pacific
Proving Grounds of the AEC was traced by counting the activity on sheets of gummedfilm

exposed at stations located throughout the world. A series of maps illustrate the fallout
dispersal pattern at various times following the test shots. The effects of prevailing
meteorological conditions on fallout dispersal and deposition are discussed.

45. METEOROLOGICAL ASPECTS OF ATOMIC RADIATION. Science 124, 105-12 (1956).
Bomb energy, detonation altitude, and atmospheric conditions have significant influences
on the mechanism, rate, and pattern of fallout. These variables are discussed. Also considered is the possibility of an intolerable Kr® concentration in the atmosphere from nu-

clear power plants.

NUGATA PREFECTUREIN 1954. Bulletin of the National Hygienic Laboratory, Tokyo
No. 73, 187-90 (1955).
Radioactivity of various parts of rice seeds cropped in 1954 was determined and com-

pared with that of 1953. Radioactivity due to K*® was established as total count of the ash
and was subtracted for correction. None of the rice seeds in 1953 showed excess radio-

activity. With the seeds in 1954 the following results were obtained: unhulled rice 3-6

cpm/g; chaff 3-6 cpm/2 g; unpolished rice 0-0.3 cpm/8 g; polished rice 0; rice bran 0.
This radioactivity is thought to come from the rain, adherentto the chaff, but not from
soil contamination.

Bulletin of the National Hygiente Laboratory, Tokyo 31, No. 6, 201-3

More radiation than those for natural K* was found in 4 of 16 samples of green tea and
another 3 samples sent from Professor Shiokawa who had found artificial radiation in them.
The authors suggested the contamination of these samples was limited only to the surface,
on which the radiocontaminated rain had aried up and not to the absorption of tea plants.
