Abstract
PERHAPS the simplest and most widely used methods for the evaluation of the long-range hazard due to atmospheric radioactivity and fallout are the air-filter and gummed-paper techniques, respectively. Since effects associated with meteorological factors, especially rain, make it difficult to predict the performance of one method relative to the other, we believe that an experimental comparison which was made at the time of the ‘Teapot’ tests may be of interest.
