Solubility of total radioactivity from local fallout as a function of particle size, data from the Nevada Test Site (NTS) on particles collected six days after detonation (from LeRoy et al., 1966).
Particle size (μm) | Fraction of activity leached in HCl at pH 1.0 |
---|---|
∼ 500 | ∼ 0.06 |
180 | 0.19 |
90 | 0.42 |
