Strontium Fallout Speed Up Raises Fallout Concerns
Senator Anderson said new Defense Department and AEC letters show strontium 90 falls from the stratosphere faster than expected with the greatest fallout in northern U S. The letters indicate shorter radioactivity duration and a maximum drop out band at 35 to 50 degrees north, increasing U S. surface concentrations and raising soil and plant radioactivity readings. The joint committee will hold fallout hearings in May.
