Radioactive debris from operations Upshot and Knothole
Activities of the National Monitoring System are summarized for the period March 1 to June 15, 1953, during which eleven nuclear devices were fired at the Nevada Proving Grounds during Operation Upshot-Knothole. The program employed a world-wide network of 125 sampling locations. Each station collected samples of atmospheric dusts for radiometric analysis. A comparison is made of air concentrations and fall-out activities. Data are tabulated.

THE TRANSPORT OF ATOMIC DEBRIS FROM OPERATION UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE
In connection with the Upshot-Knothole test series in network consisting of 95 U.S. and 26 forcign stations was set up. Of the 11 devices detonated, ranging in yield from 0.2 to 60 kt, highier activity was found for lower bursts than from air drops. Information relating to the optimum spacing of stations in a gummed film network and the possibility of missing local areas of intense fallout are discussed. (W.D.M.)
