Abstract

The influence of two Sahara nuclear test explosions, on February 13 and April 1, 1960, on the fission product nuclides in the ground-level air in Czechoslovakia was characterized by a slow increase during the second quarter of 1960. The beginning of this increase appeared at the end of February. This observation is in satisfactory agreement with the simultaneous measurements of the radioactivity in fall-out and rain. The increase of fission product nuclides in the ground-level air in the mean monthly values is evident. The mean fission product activity during the second quarter of 1960 was about 320% higher than that during the founth quarter of 1959. Monitoring methods are described and data are presented graphically. (C.H.)
