Introduction
Quarterly summary reports are prepared by the Health and Safety
Laboratory (HASL) with the objective of presenting a current picture of
the Strontium Program.
With these reports, it is hoped that investigators
actively interested in the program will be better able to relate their
own work to that of others.
Thus we urge other investigators to send
recent results of their work to the Health and Safety Laboratory for
publication in succeeding summaries.
No attempt is made to interpret
the data in these reports.
This report also up-dates HASL-\2, "Environmental Contamination
from Weapon Tests", in particular Part 1 - "Fallout Monitoring and
Documentation".
The data presented herein are routinely reported by the
Analytical Branch of the Health and Safety Laboratory and four
contractor laboratories - Nuclear Science and Engineering Corporation,
Isotopes, Incorporated, Radiochemistry, Incorporated, and Tracerlab,
Incorporated.
