Apparently, in the decontamination process fallout products were spread around the airfield and recontaminated other aircraft to low levels. The B-36 used in the effects experiments did not come into contact with shot debris clouds during its flights, but when it returned to the United States, its undercarriage was found to be contaminated with fallout products in oil and paint, which required special cleaning to remove. The level of this contamination was "10 mr [per hr]" (Reference 35, p. 133). 165
