Fig. 4. HYSPLIT predictions of '°’Cs deposition pattern near the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan following event
1 (29 August 1949) using: MIparticle-size distribution (Top Panel), alternate particle-size distribution #1 (Center Panel),
and alternate particle-size distribution #2 (Bottom Panel), all described in Table 1. The key in each panel compares
simulation results and measurements reported by Yamamotoet al. (2008).

Yamamotoet al. (2008) sampling locations. Location D
is the grid cell with the highest HYSPLIT-predicted
deposition density at ~118 km downwind.Sites A and C
are the respective northern and southern-mostsites listed
in the Yamamoto et al. (2008) study. The predicted

fallout arrival time at Dolon is reasonably consistent with
that reported by Gordeevet al. (2002) and Yamamoto et
al. (2008) at approximately 2 to 3 h, but the spatial

distribution of '°’Cs is much wider thanthat inferred by
the measurements of Yamamoto et al. (2008), and the
