Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Since February 1955, precipitation collections have been made

by Nuclear Science and Engineering Corporation in galvanized tubs
(exposed surface 2.58 rt? per tub).
Table 4, up-dates the Pittsburgh precipitation data in HASL-5l.
Pigure 4 depicts cumulative Sr?9 fallout.

The cumulative error terms

represent the standard error of duplicate analyses.
Until February 1957, the contents of the two tubs were

combined resulting in one analysis for the collection period.

Since

February 1957, the contents of each tub have been analyzed separately.
Precipitation values were obtained from the United States
Weather Bureau until June 19, 1957.

Since then, precipitation has been

measured by Nuclear Science and Engineering personnel using a Fisher
