transferred to a counting tray,
Granlund said.
The samples are then ashed
at 506 degrees Centegrade in
a muffle furnace to burn off
the oil, he added. The resulting
sample is cooled and weighed
before being transferred to a
flow counter for active measure
ments.
• Because precipitation brings
more radioactive particles to the
ground, Granlund said, any rain
will increase the fallout level
measured for the day.
For example, rainfall on Oct.
2 and 3 increased the count by
about 100 times, the normal level
here for this time of year.

"Such a rate is indeed unusual
but could become fairly common
as the tests continue," Granlund
said.
He said, however, that during
the nuclear tests conducted in
1957 and 1958 by the United States
and the Soviet Union, measure

higher than even this figure.
The present average,
.he said,
does not constitute a health
hazard and is still well under the

1957-58 tests.
