A typical garsa-decay curve is shown in Fig, 2.65-5,

Radiochemistry:

GsNE.

Ground scoop samples were recovered from Sites WILMA end

Another sample was retrieved from a depression in the canvas oo | an
~t

abandoned truck at Site GzNE,

It was discovered that all the particles fren the

truck canvas were radioactive, while very few of the particles from the ground

‘probable for particles other than fallout to be collected at the heisht of a

“rs ek cab, Csd to the belief that this ssuple is vep.csentative of the fallout
Sa that erca.

AL of these sanples were size -gro ied into various size fracitccs,

and radiochemical analyses for Np??? and Mo’? were performed on each fraction.
reom the enalysis, the following ecncl-sions wore dicvas

to Mo? as a function of particle -ize,

As shown in Table 2,45.-2, the ratios of wpe to Mo?? and the capture/fission

vstihos, whoich are proportional to then,

of the sample increases,

appear to decvcase as the parvicle sine

Even the lowest value, 0.14, is almost twice the 0,936

value reported by LASL for a cloud sample.

the total beta activity of the semples generally increase with increasing Parte
