Growth of Shot 1 Fallout Pattern with Time
It must be realized that the reconstructed fallout pattern de~

scribed in Fig. 6.6 indicates for convenience the leveis of activity t
thet would exist should all of +he fallout particulate be down at

O+ 1 hr.

Of course, this is not the case, for the primary pattern out

to arproximately 260 nautical miles was not static until some 20 hr
after shot time. Fizures 6.8 through 6.12 show the growth of the pattern
with time. The gamma field levels are those that would exist at these
times over a land area. In constructjon o° these patterns consideration .
of both decay and time of arrival as indicated by Fig. 6.13 were taken
into account.

Eleven of the samples from the free-floating see stations recovered
after Shot 2 were evaluated and it was founc that the main swath of fallout crossed over the station array. Of the 11 stations recovered seven
