Self-induced rainout from a nuclear weapon
Description
The conclusions we have reached are that rainout of fresh radioactive debris occurred at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that this precipitation was initiated either by the weapon itself or by the ensuing fires or by both, and that self-induced rainout can occur and deposit sufficient amounts of radioactivity on the ground to pose a significant collateral damage hazard
