Abstract A study of the radioactivity of precipitation in the Cincinnati area was made for twelve months beginning March 1953. Seven samples of precipitation between March 3 and March 18 were tested to obtain the background level in rainfall. On March 19, two days after the first weapon test of the Spring Series, a sharp rise in the beta activity of rain occurred. The radioactivity of subsequent rains during the test period was usually of greater intensity and varied widely. Following the weapon tests the activity of the rain decreased to levels near that of background. All activity measured was far below the intensity considered to be hazardous. The more pertinent findings of the study are presented. (Author)
