Low-level activities of iodine-131, barium-140, and strontium-89 were found in a series of rain samples collected at Fayetteville, Arkansas, during the period from late June through August 1967. The ratios of these short-lived isotopes to strontium-90 were determined as accurately as possible. The data indicate that the debris from the Chinese nuclear explosion was injected primarily into the stratosphere.
1967年6月下旬至8月期间,在阿肯色州费耶特维尔采集的一系列雨水样本中,发现了碘 - 131、钡 - 140和锶 - 89的低活度。尽可能精确地测定了这些短寿命同位素与锶 - 90的比率。数据表明,中国核爆炸产生的碎片主要注入了平流层。
