'FALLOUT CLOUD from thc first H-bomb blast,

tons of TNT. was touched off in mid-Paciflc in
November 1952. If the cloud could have been mag-
nified, it would have looked much like the inset,
with microscopic radioactive particles clinging

FACTORS AFFECTING FALLOUT distribution
aver countryside downwind from a nuclear blast
are the size of the earth particles carrying the
radioactivity, their altitude and the speed and
direction of the wind. Generally, In thc United
States, the winds which would dominate the di-
rection wf fallout would be the strong, usually
west-to-east winds at about 10,900 feet. For this
reason, the Federal Civil Defense Administra-
tion warns that only weather experts, with their
methods of tracking hlgh-altltiide winds, can pre-
dict with reasonable accuracy thc area to be af-
fected by fallout. Men with radiation monitoring
instruments are also required to determine
whether an area Is “safe” from radio active
fallout after a nuclear attack. UCDA photo*)

mixing with the highly radio- 11 cu lva^lnK dry land, or if
active material,- particles fall | a^e corn- w®ar
track to the earth with the
greatest hazard existing dur-
ing the early hours following
the explosion. The radiation
hazard decreases with the pas-
sage of time because the radio-
active materials decay, or grad-
ually lose .their ability to emit
rays.
Since the fallout material re-
sembles dirt or dust, some pro-
tection is afforded to livestock
by trees; however, barns pro-
wide the best protection. Con-
taminated animals and poultry,
in some instances, can be hosed
with water and then housed in
barns. Animals and poultry
should be fed grain or hay
which has not been contamin-
ated, and given water from
a covered storage tank or cis-
tern for a few davs. Vegetables
and fruits will be contamin-
ated in the fields and must be
thoroughly washed.
Farm workers should re-
main indoors until the danger
from fallout has diminished.
Civil Defense officials will is-
sue reports on the degree of
danger from time to time. In
most areas protective boots
and gloves will permit work-
ers to proceed with their chores
in a relativelv short time ex-
cept where fallout is heaviest.
Here are a few pertinent
points from the pamphlet:
Wash hands and face and
change clothing immediately if
you have been exposed to high
concentrations of fallout
Use packaged, canned and
bottled foods, as well as food
