Abstract

Radioactivity released by the Chinese atmospheric nuclear tests has been used as a tracer to estimate travel times on a global scale. It is found that the travel time estimates to Japan from the Chinese testing site Lop Nor (40 deg. N, 90 deg. E), given by the authors are in good agreement with the .Japanese data, The travel times of the debris to distant locations as well is the pattern of radioactivity distributions at ground level stations in .Japan are both found to be dependent on the path of the radioactive cloud in the initial stages: The upper airstream trajectories computed in two cases to trace the path of the cloud are also presented.
