Radioactive Fallout

Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal, 1963
THE DETONATION of nuclear devices produces fission products in greater or lesser amounts, depending on the characteristics of the particular device employed. Fission devices which are in the low-yield range derive their explosive force from nuclear fission which gives rise to amounts of radioactive fission products roughly proportional to explosive ...

Radioactive Fallout and Radioactive Strontium

Science, 1956
The contribution to environmental radioactivity of radioactivity due to fallout following the explosion of nuclear weapons is reviewed. Mechanisms by which /sup 90/Sr might be expected to enter the human body are discussed in detail. Data from nuclear weapons tests form the basis for the conclusion that the main part of the radioactivity from high ...

Radioactive Fallout During 1959

Nature, 1960
ABS>The concentration of strontium-90 In rain falling over Great Britain rose sharply during the first half of 1959 despite the suspension of nuclear weapons testing from November 1955 until February 1960 Results are presented from measurements of the radiostrontium content of rain water sampled through 1959.

Radioactive Fallout through September 1955

Science, 1956
Data are summarized from the monitoring network in 1955 to show the cumulative surface deposits of mixed fission products and /sup 90/Sr, and the cumulative gamma dose in millirads from external radiation caused by radioactive fallout.

Hazards of Radioactive Fallout

Pediatrics, 1963
The Committee on Environmental Hazards, in its efforts to acquaint members of the Academy with the real hazards of radioactive fallout, has been encouraged by actions of important groups and individuals qualified in that field. For example, the USPHS, charged with the responsibility of the welfare of our population, has requested and received copies of

Hazards of Radioactive Fallout

Pediatrics, 1962
Many of my patients are aware of the poisonous attributes of strontium-90 and its particular affinity for the bones of growing children. It would be an immense relief to them and to me to have available decontaminated milk and formula. It is my understanding that there is now available a relatively inexpensive process for removing radioactive strontium-

Measuring and Monitoring Fallout Radioactivity

Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal, 1964
A general description of the measurements and equipment required for estimating hazard to man from radioactive fallout is presented. Emphasis is placed on the peacetime situation, but a few points are made regarding nuclear warfare. In general, the high levels of radioactivity resulting from a nuclear war would allow hazard assessment with simple ...
