Since May 31, 1956, all the precipitations at the

summit of the Puy-de-Dome, have been contaminated

with artificial radioactive products. The flight
survey of June 15 confirms these results.

CLOSE-IN FALLOUT.

Meteorology 14, 1-8 (1957).

The phenomenon of radioactive fallout from an atomic
explosion is described, and a quantitative technique

~ for determining the distribution of radioactive

material on the ground is developed. The primary
factors which must be considered are wind field,
yield and height.of burst, and particle-size distribution. Certain parameters which enter directly
into a fallout determination are given quantitatively,
such as the altitude and size of the atomic cloud
(as a function of explosion yield and atmospheric

Stability) and particle fall-rates (as a function
of altitude and particle size). Two hypothetical
fallout patterns for a one-megation explosion, come

puted on a high-speed digital computer are presented,
