CAMMA-RAY SPECTRUM OF BOVINE THYROID DURING UNCLEAR FALLOUT

Following a nuclear explo sion, the radioactive materials descend t o the earth. Most of the act i v i t y results from fis sion fragments. Therefore, new atoms created when heavy a toms such as uranium and plutonium are fissioned. Atoms made radioactive by neutron capture are a:50 important.&qu...
