Results of reanalyses for 137Cs, 90Sr, and plutonium of continental US soil samples collected in the 1950s
Description
This report presents the results of recent reanalyses of soil samples collected at a limited number of sites across the US during the period of 1953--60 for 137Cs, 90Sr and plutonium isotopes. These data have been used to estimate the deposition of fallout at these sites from atmospheric weapons tests carried out in Nevada. The results provide important confirmation of a much larger set of deposition estimates made by other less direct methods. 13 refs., 6 tabs
