Activity in excess of 200,000 d/n/ft* on sampling day occurred

at two stations in the United States following the Yankee burst

(Billings, Mont., and Salt Lake City, Utah) and was a result of

dry fallout at Salt Lake City and with rain at Billings.

These

values exceed by an order of magnitude the maximum fallout revorted
at any of the Japanese stations and are larger than the maximum

values reported at many of the Pacific Islands much closer to the

Pacific Proving Ground.

(It should be noted that it is likely

that Kusaie, Ponape and Kwajalein received their maximum activity
following the Bravo burst, however, these stations did not start

gummed film observations until about two weeks after this burst and

the values given probably do not represent the maximum fallout for

the Castle series.)
