Nuclear Test Effects

Yup....

Ok, so what if anything is your question or point to be discussed?

I warn you that many of the "Nuclear Weapons" books of that era were propaganda pieces of one extreme or the other. If the book is actually an AEC book it likely down plays fallout concerns to placate the public in Nevada. It also might be one of a few unauthorized AEC publications that "acquired" official looking logos.

Nuclear fallout from testing in the US....

U.S.A. cake with sprinkles. Find them at your local grocer.

I wonder why I am living in a brown section? CR4 stopped doing those experiments years ago. ;)

Don't feel bad, I live in a pink section....

It is amazing how well the fallout recognized state lines in certain areas and dutifully stayed to one side.

The eastern boarder of Northern California as well as the Western boarder of Minnesota seemed to stand their ground rather well..... be it from fall out or perhaps radiacs.

I want to know what happened in South West Texas (Fort Bend?). That's quite a localized result.

I don't know how they made the map. If it was just based on surveys without knowing exactly where the contamination originated, it could be related to oil extraction.

If it is an area where oil drilling equipment is processed, cleaned, or stored, drilling equipment and waste water can have high levels of contamination.

Just a thought.
