Abstract

A theoretical basis for logarithmic correlations of fractionated radionuclide compositions is described. Implications for nuclear chemical studies of bomb debris and application to the prediction of partition of Sr⁹⁰ and other biologically important radionuclides among particles of various sizes, and consequently between local and world-wide fallout, are indicated.
