Project 21.3 - Short Half-life Activities - F, Monyer
Project 21.3 was engaged in finding total tritium in the aloud.
was done in the following panner:
This
Carrier amounts of heavy water, inypton
and xenon were added to the collection bottles prior to the progrem.
The
collection system consisted of filters for particulate metter and oollection
vottles mounted on the sampling planes.
Gas samples were collected at
verious altitudes and times following the detonation and returned to Parry
for seperation,
Krypton, xenon, water and carbon dioxide were separated
from the gas sample and molybdermu was separated from the filter sample.
Erypton, xenon and molytdenum vere collected to determine fissions per
collection tottle.
The remaining activities, cl4 and H? vere returned to
the laboratory, as barium carbonate and weter for the determination of total
tritium and possibly cl yield.
The fission bottle date are shown in Table 21.31.
