The study seeks to help scientists determine the health effects of small radiation doses, and to say how many people died from bomb fallout.
The study implies that deaths from bomb fallout globally run into the "many thousands," said the authors, Joseph J. Mangano and Dr. Janette D. Sherman, both of the Radiation and Public Health Project, nonprofit research group based in New York.
"Our study is just a step in the effort to understand how many Americans were harmed by atom bomb fallout," said Joseph Mangano, executive director of the Radiation and Public Health Project.
In contrast to previous experience with atomic bomb fallout, which tended to be homogeneous, the washout from the Chernobyl fallout plume resulted in very heterogeneous fallout.
To quantify the effects on sedimentation and flow conveyance, three natural streambank exposures were sampled and analyzed for nuclear bomb fallout 137Cs.
Whereas my research focused on the fate of allochthonous organic matter (principally tree leaves) in streams, my tangential interests wandered into the isotope lab next door where I learned to use bomb fallout tritium as a groundwater tracer and 18O/16O isotope ratios to trace seasonal snowmelt water and the organic carbon it carries through shallow groundwater discharging into streams.

There is also a cool scientific- and retro-minded museum shop, where you can buy your very own A-bomb fallout shelter sign or biohazard T-shirt.
Using our cutting-edge heavy isotope AMS-system we measured the first ever yearly resolved coral record for U from bomb-fallout.
The result was that, while the bomb's fallout did not move an appreciable distance, it badly contaminated everything in the immediate vicinity.
The isotopic ratio Pu Pu of 0.18 ± 0.01 (n = 49) confirms again that nuclear bomb test fallout was the origin of the Pu.
The average Pu Pu isotopic ratio was 0.21 ± 0.06 (n = 23), from which we inferred that the Pu source is indeed atomic bomb test fallout (Kelley et al. 1999; Warneke et al. 2002).
