MOLESTAN Well, I talked to the man who wrote that, and he was agast at the fast that this might be used for the world wide problem... 4t might be the came way with Thomas and Bally here — I talked with the Tracerlab on thet — Shearer, who was in on that and teld us about it. Before he left he was somewhat perplexed, and he wanted to get cut cf that..people were using this for the world wide problem, so I den't mow vheather we can say washout rate of anything, six months and three months or ten days, ten years — because I believe with Dr. Wexler and Colonel Holaman whether there is any uniform washing cut in the whole atmosphere, and certainly that radon is not going to answer it. LIBBY ; Colonel luilejian, do you think it pessible that if we find rain in Chile next Thanksgiving that is radicactive thet this is stuff that has been below 30,000 feet all of the time? The answer to that is we actually don't know, so why say yes or no to a thing like that: Certainly it is not based on that report of radar coming from the ground which we have looked at curselves. We find that it seas to be a fimction of the surface inversion how such lack of Inuild up there is in this raincut. HOLZMAR : I don't know why you think that this is an esoteric reason for a storage layer up there. You night think of that as being unig formly distributed and then as coming down slowly. I think this is the evidence of your getting some radicactive washout from one of our previous testa. Now whether it is stored up there or what, I just think it is a sort of scavenging process.
