Abstract

The fission products injected into the atmosphere by the test explosions of nuclear weapons are dispersed on a world-wide scale. These are ultimately deposited on the ground surface by rain, gravity settling and impaction. The ground deposition of fission products constitutes the primary mechanism of contamination of foodstuffs and drinking water.
