CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 CONCLUSIONS
The activity concentrationa of Sr°9, 2295, 4099, Batt, ona colts
in the hot fallout particles from Shot ’ collected at How decreased
regularly with increasing particle: size from 5 to 50 1}, The relation. ships displayed a discontinuity or inflection: at about 50 ».
Between.
5 and SO » there was relstive fract onation of these fission products
with the exception of Mo?? and C
Determination of the relative amounts of Ca(OH)2 and Cac03 in the
samples gave inconclusive results,
The relative concentration of Sr89 and BallO in Shot & fallout
increased with time of collection,
°
There was falloutof both radioactive solid and radioactive liquid
fromShots 1 and 3,
9 and BalO displayed a greater tendency to
concentrate in the liquid phase than the other fission products studied.
Shot
fallout was almost entirely liquid,

Na alll
The base surge sampling program was unsuccessful,
The gross decay Shot 1 fallout did not vary with particle size
at early time, At later times the gross decay variation with particle
size does correlate with the slight trend in radiochemical composition,
