Summary The data analysis of eighteen stations located in France have shown the possibility of distinguishing several main types of transport. The first type of transport shows a perfectly regular and homogeneous distribution of radioactive debris in clouds. The second type of transport results in a regular distribution of debris over the country independent of the clouds systems. In the third type the debris is distributed irregularly and the fall-out is perfectly independent of the cloud-rain system. The three types follow each other in a way continuous with time. The irregular and independent transport type immediately follows the explosions. The regular distribution of debris, but still independent of the cloud system, comes later and the debris will be mainly of tropospheric origin. The irregular and non homogeneous distributions of debris will be characteristic of recent explosions and correspond to fall-out of tropospheric origin.
Notes:
Résumé L'analyse des renseignements fournis par 18 stations situées en France métropolitaine, permet de distinguer trois principaux types d'apports d'aérosols radioactifs: 1) Un apport résultant d'une répartition régulière et homogène au sein des nuages; 2) Un régime de retombées, réparties uniformément, mais indépendant du système nuageux; 3) Un régime d'apport irrégulier et indépendant des condensations. Ces trois régimes se suivent et se succèdent d'une manière continue. Le régime 3 caractérise les explosions récentes, le régime 1 devient prédominant au bout d'une dizaine de mois.
