RADIOACTIVITY OF AIR CAUSED BY NUCLEAR BOMB TESTS.
fur 128, 9ee-§5 (19597)
Daily checks of radioactive fallout at the above institute
(Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia, Rio de Janeiro) gave an
activity 10 times as high as the average on June 25, 1957.
By applying the decay law for fallout of Way and Wigner
the origin could be traced to the British H-bomb test at
Christmas Island on May 15, 1957.
By autoradiography of
the filter it was shown that the high activity was caused
by only one highly radioactive particle.

THEORY OF RADIOACTIVE POISONING BY MILITARY ATOMIC TESTS.
Atcnkern-Energie 3, S+-8 (1958)
(In German).
The poisoning which occurs during the continuation of
atomic tests is distinguished from that occurring later.
The earth and body poisoning and the quantity of radiation causing poisoning of critical organs are calculated. The calculation is simplified by the assumption
that during the tests the fallout is continuous. With
unlimited continuation of atomic tests, earth and body
|
poisoning approach a stable limiting value, which depends.
on the amount of the fallout. After discontinuance of
the tests, the earth and body poisoning first rises to
its highest value and then sinks. Application of the
equations to the question of Sr90 poisoning gives come
plete authorization for warnings about continuation of
atomic tests.

-.-Based in part on samples from the National Bureau of
Standards, rather extensive calibration measurements
indicated a fallout beta (disintegrations) / (count
rate) ratio of 2.8 p » curies per count per minute for
the water samples.
The average of the mest radioactive
set of surface water samples collected in eastern
Massachusetts following
November, 1952, Eniwetok detona-
tions registered 6.9 counts per minute per liter cr
0.02 p p curies per milliliter.
