Project 21.3 = Short Half-life Activities - F. Momyer
Ancther phase of Project 21.3 was engaged in finding total tritius in
the cloud. This wasdone in the following manner: Cerrier emounta of heavy
water, krypton and xenon were added to the collection bottles prior to the
progres.
The collection system consisted of filters for particulate matter
and collection bottles mounted on the sacpling planes.
es samples vere
ocllected at various altitudes and times following the detonation and returned
to Parry for separation.
Erypton, xenon, water and carbon dioxide vere
separated from the gas sample end eclytdenum wee separated from the filter
senple.
Krypton, zencn and molybdemm vere collected to determine fissions
per collection bettle,
The remaining activities, c4 and 8 were returned to
the laboratory, as bariua carbonate and water for the determination of total
tritium and possibly OM yield.
CO EEEDOR
The fission bottle date are shown in Table 21.31.
