Although this collection system provides important scientific
data, it does not provide immediate information on fallout levels,
since the samples must be mailed to the Health and Safety Laboratory
and counted there, Information is previded more quickly by two
other monitoring networks, one consisting of 38 stations established by the U. S. Public Health Service and the other consisting
of monitors at 11 Commission installations, The USPHS monitoring
station locations are:

The Public Health Service astablished its country-wide monitoring system in 1956 in connection with the Redwing series of tests at
the Commission's Eniwetok Proving Grounds. The system has been reactivated for the new Nevada series.
The Public Health Service monitoring stations make
ings of radioactivity and forward the data to a central
office in Washington. The stations also report data to
Health Officers of the states in which the stations are
