gummed paper mcuntead on water resistant cardboard.

In both methods,

the collectors were continuously exposed from the time of their place~
ment wtil recovery. Samples obtained were used primarily in deter-

mining the final fallout distribution patterns.

Differential Fallout Collector

The differential fallout collector (Fig. 3.2), employed to

collect fallout as a function of time was an improved version of the
belt sampler used during IVY. It was employed on most land and many
lagoon stations. It was designed to expose 40 jars consecutively at
5 min intervals after being started oy a signal from a light-activated
trigger. This equipment was powered by a 6-v, 110—amp-hr storage
battery.

Badge
Use was made of the Nation.l Bureau of Standards film badge

pack to measure the

integrated gamma radiation dose at each stetion

where fallout was collected, These dosimeters were provided amd procossed by Project 2.1 personnel.

Gamma Time-Intensity Recorder

The gemma tine-intensity recorder was used in conjunction with
a data recuction system, to provide long-term, continuous information
relative to radiation fields, it consisted of a series of ionization
chambers, associated electrometer cand relay circuitry, and tsterlineAngus pen recorders 2</ The information for euch chanber was stored us
& simple pulse, euch of which corresp:nded tc the basic increment of
gama radiuticn for the siven chamber, The system was essentially of
the churge integrating autorecycle type, the chember being rechar;ea to
its original voltaze as each basic increment of radiution was received
and recorded. The basic chamber increments were 0.1 mr, 10 mr, 1 r, and

100 r covering the range from 0.1 mr/hr to 10,000 r/hr.

The instrument

was powered by ten 150-amp-hr betteries, eight of which were in series
providin,, 48 v for the relay circuits and power to drive the pens in the
esterline-angus recorder; the other two were in purallel proviaing 6 v
for the filemente of the anvlifier tubes in the detector heaus, A
spring-driven mechanism moved the paper in the isterline-Angus recorders.

Prototype Collecting Devices

Severul protetype instruments were tested for their possibilities
as fallout ind bare surge sumplers., Two such instruments vere the electrostetic precipitatcr cond the automatic water drop collector. ‘The
samples collected by those instruments wero analyzed at the LENVL, The
results are given elsewhere ,18/
The electrost:tic precipitator was developed cs a fo; sampling
device to obtain information on size, radioactivity, snd ionic content
