Fission product precipitation from the atmosphere in Debrecen, Hungary, during 1961 and 1962

Продукты распада в осадках, выпавших в дебрецене в 1961–62 гг

Abstract

The results of measurements carried out in the years 1961 and 1962 to determine the radioactivity due to fission products of precipitation from the atmosphere in Debrecen are given. The relation between the specific activity and the quantity of precipitation is treated and conclusions are drawn as to the variation of the radioactive contamination of the surface of the Earth. Based on the measurement of the decay of samples the activity measured in the individual periods is approximately assigned to the series of atomic weapon tests which began in the autumn of 1961.

Резюме

Работа ознакомливает читателя с результатами измерения, которые проводились в 1961–62 гг. для определения радиоактивности, происходящей от продуктов деления в атмосферных осадках, выпавших в Дебрецене. Рассматривается зависимость между удельной активностью и количеством осадков, делается вывод по отношению формирования радиоактивного загрязнения земной поверхности. На основании измерения распада измеренных образцов, относящиеся к определенным периодам, активности сопоставляются сериям по испытанию атомного оружия, проведенным от осени 1961 г.
