Abstract
Daily fluctuations of the number of single fallout particles and activity of zirconium-95 in the ground-level air were measured at Fayetteville (94°W, 36°N), Arkansas, for a period of about 3 months after the Chinese nuclear explosion of 9 May 1966. We found a cyclic pattern of variations for both zirconium-95 and fallout particles; this indicated that they were airborne for a long period and traveled far. Apparently, some of the particles circled the world more than once.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
