STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Radioactivity Measured By Physicist Measurable levels of radioactive fall-out in the Central Pennsyl vania area were recorded during the 1957 nuclear tests in the west ern part of the country by Ed ward Kenny, University health physicist, it was announced last week. Kenny, who has been monitor ing fall-out for nearly a year, said the amount of fall-out measured during that time is insignificant as a health hazard. His charts of daily measure ments show sharp increases in radioactivity following each of the tests last summer, the in crease beginning within two days of the test. Increases in radio activity were also noted on rainy days, probably indicating that active particles are cleared from the atmosphere by the rainfall, Kenny said. The heaviest fall-out recorded was noted on September 10, 1957, when 12,828 disintegrations - a min ute of radioactive particles were registered. A light rainfall also was recorded on this date, which undoubtedly helped to cause the sharp increase in fall-out. This measurement also followed nuclear explosions in the western part of the United States on August 30 through September 7. er things) ury Fashioned YCORA You'll ~.. .•.......:.: . ......... ~....r '. • . ,•.,-. • . . - . _. -.... j -,..... 4 .. . . _ . • - - The 0 p 4ito HIM LAB'S ' t 0 , 44 41,..
