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.
