SECT 1: STZE-GRADED FALLOUT FROM ROW

Tn order to obtain activity per unit weight of active perticles
only, correction must be made for the -per cent of inactive particles

in the sexple.

The values for per cent active particles (by volume)

obtained from the autoradiogrzrhs are listed in Table 4.1 along with

and the gross activity concentrations
for the vagsous size fractions correctedof,= per cent active particles.
Data on tae4
are not included because Na¢4 samples were containated
with Bal40, when it was learned that the shot device contained sodium
tracer, it did not appear worthwhile to undertake the task of resolving
the decay curves.
