An evaluation has been made of the feasibility of the use of radioactive 3SS as a tracer in long-range transport experiments. This report discusses a conceptual experiment that places quite stringent restraints upon the use of the material. On the basis of the background concentrations of 35S, the amount of material required to be released for detection at 1000 km., public health considerations as prescribed in Federal regulations, the capability of current technology to produce the required material, and the availability of sampling and detection techniques, it is concluded that the use of 35S is technically feasible. On the other hand, it appears that the use of stable isotopes of sulfur would be severely constrained because of the magnitude and variability of the occurrence of these isotopes in the sulfur already being emitted by anthropogenic sources. |
