We used to be able to count on a eeries being over in three months, We had? checked on our network; there was nothing to Reasure, but after Castle, we are still measur-_ ing debris coming down from Castile. The Ruselang come in with their shots: so we cannot take their data, I mean their fellout and calculate Just how much strontium should be there, 8a we have gone to the system of compositing. these fallout samples on a monthly baeis for each station and determining the actual strontium present.
