Description

Increasing trends of the concentrations of sup(234)U, sup(235)U and sup(238)U in rain observed during the period between April 1984 and June 1985 at Fayetteville (36 deg N, 94 deg W), Arkansas, and peak concentrations of sup(234)U and sup(235)U observed in a number of rain samples collected in May and June 1985 appear to be the effects of delayed fallout from the eruption of El Chichon volcano and the 1983 fall of the nuclear-powered satellite Kosmos-1402, respectively.
