We burned them and we checked the |
meteorology at the time; we checked the reduction in weight, the reduction in volume
and I can show you in the next slide quickly,
what we found,¥ery briefly, these are the
three successive experinenta,
This is estimated activity and
it's estimated from the ash and from what we
found to be dictributed,
This was eight tenths
of milliocurie, two millicuries and seven and
the per cent reduction in the ash, that ia the
residual material by .way.
We had thirty per
cent left, that means there was a lot of glasece
ware end metal parts and in each of thece cases
approximately ten per cent, so we got about a
ninety per cent reduction both by weight and
by volume,
However, on an activity basis we got
a reduction of about ninety-nine per cent. In
other words, only one per cent of it was found
to have gotten away,
In the fallout, now this fallout was
measured by the same tenhnique that we used in
the general fallout measurement, thet is the
distribution of sticky papers elevated above
the ground,
