Project 21.3 ~ Short Half-life Activities - F, Monyer
Project 21.3 was engaged in finding total tritium in the cloud.
was done in the following manners
Thie
Carrier amounts of heavy water, krypton
and xenon were added to the collection bottles prior to the program.
The
collection
collection system consisted of filters for particulate matter and
bottles mounted on the sampling planes.
Gas samples were collected at
to Parry
verious altitudes and times following the detonation and returned
for separation.
Krypton, xenon, water and carbon dioxide were separated

Krypton, xenon and molybdenum were collected to determine fissions

The remaining activities, ch4 and H? were returned to

the laboratory, a6 barium carbonate and water for the determin
tritium and possibly ct yield.
The fisaion bottle data are shown in Table 21.31.
