The estimated amount of dow of vadioactivity was about 110° curieshour

On -:he vertical section at 570 km west of Bikini the

distance of branching became broader and also the depth of

100 cpmj/ activity

was 200m below the sea surface on in average. The flow of radioactivity was
about 0.6 « i0° curie hour. The distance between the former and the latter section
was abond

4600 km and assuming tha’ the speed of current was about 0.7 knots
