Since eacn sample constituted an accurately determined

portion of tne material taken from a fallout collector
of known area, an estimate can be made concerning the
total gamma source strencth per unit area in the vicinity
of the collecting site.

Other than reporting quantitative information on

area, this exveriment exemplified better orsanization

and preparation in other ways.

The samples were pre-

pared in standardized containers so that changing geo-

metry was never a problem.

The spectrometer was "well-

seasoned" and denendable and was used without modification throughout the course of the experiment.

The instru-

ment was improved by the substitution of a Moseley X~-Y

plotter for the Brown recorder,

Finally the analysis

itself was made simpler and more consistent by the

use of a@ better way of measuring veak areas.
