The HASL Surface Air Sampling Program
註釋This report covers the first year of operation of the Surface Air Sampling Program at the Health and Safety Laboratory. The data developed in 1963 and a description of the sampling sites, sampling equipment and methodology are presented. During 1963 over 1,700 air filter samples and 1,400 samples of precipitation were assayed for gross gamma concentration, fission and neutron activation products. The results of these analyses indicate that in Northern Hemispheric surface air in 1963, the well documented spring peak occurred and that in general the air was well mixed with respect to fission products. Through most of the year the air of the Southern Hemisphere was not as thoroughly mixed. The trends of various radionuclide concentrations and radionuclide ratios suggest that a substantial portion of the nuclear debris detected at ground level in the Southern Hemisphere came across the Equator from the troposphere of the Northern Hemisphere.
