Contribution of Hardtack debris to contamination of the air during 1959.

A comparison of the concentrations of tungsten-185 and strontium-90 in the air at various times after the 1958 U.S. nuclear tests in the Pacific indicatesthat debris from this test series contributed less than 10 percent of the total Sr(90) content of the ground-level air at Miami and Washington during the spring of 1959.

Contamination of the air by radioactivity from the 1958 nuclear tests in the Pacific.

By the use of bomb-produced tungsten-185 tracer, debris from the 1958 nuclear tests (Hardtack) held at the U.S. Pacific Proving Ground have been identified as they appeared in the ground-level air along the 80th meridian. A large amount of radioactivity from these tests appeared in South America, particularly at the high-altitude collecting stations.
