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

sample.
from the gas semple and molybdenuz was separated from the filter
per
Krypton, xenon and molybdenum were collected to determine fissions
collection tottle.

The remaining activities, ch4 and H? were returned to

ation of total
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.
