purging itself even at very, very high levels and for this reason
I thought that some of the data that, well in one of our other
programs might be carefully analysed and so give us a lot of
information as to how much thea atmosphere ia purging itself of

this debris.

So you imagine that 1+ might be at great heights? That the radioactivity might be at great heights?

ROLZMANR :

Well, I got the feeling from your remarks and others that this.
thing might hover at stratospheric levels ....

VOICSs

Ten't your point coming to say that your guess would be that the

radioactivity, assuzing a period two or three months after a shot,
that. the radioactivity would be pretty well distributed?
ACLZMANNs

That ia right.

It is pretty well distributed bat it is constantly

being purged and that data even at lower levels can be analysed to
give you a pretty good indication as to what is zeing on above.

That is what I was getting at so that there night be sufficient
data around with careful study that ceuld give us somes ansvers
that we are seeking here.
VOICEs

If thia were true then it would seem that -iserntdud's data should

show this, because let us assime that there is a six month half-

life then he ought te have # six mcnth slope:on his fallout and
he doaan't have that.
