Report
Language: English
The chemical compositions, structures and modes of origin of severai
different types of radioactive fallout particles have been determined
through petrographic techniques, x-ray-diffraction analysis,
radioautography, and specially prepared reagent films for liquid fallout.
The fallout particles studied were collected following the detonation of
nuclear weapons under various conditions at both the Nevada Test Site and
the Eniwetok Proving Grounds. Radioactive fallout particles were formed by
the interaction of the condensing vaporized metals and fission products
derived from the homb and associated structures with the surface material
swept up into the cooling fireball. Description of the various types of
fallout particles are
given and their modes of origin are qualitatively
related by a simplified htermodynamic treatment. (auth)

The ecology of the Pacific Atolls of Bikini and Eniwetok is described.
Results are summarized from studies on the distribution of fissien products
in the biota. The contributions of these studies to a better understanding
of life zones of coral atolls, the economy of the sea, and fundamental
concepts of biological sciences are discussed. (C.H.)
