Abstract
Ekim 1980 de Çinliler tarafından atmosferde yapılan nükleer deneme sonucu meydana gelen bölünme ürünleri filtre kağıtları üzerinde Hawaii ve Kuzey Amerika üzerinde 11-21 km yüksekliklerde toplanmışlardır. Aktivite sayımlarından 95Zr/95Nb, 141Ce/144Ce, 95Zr/144Ce ve 95Zr/141Ce oranlan hesaplanmış ve yapılan denemede 235U kullanıldığı ve denemenin Ekim 16±4, 1980 tarihinde yapıldığı tahmin edilmiştir.
The fission product activities from the October 1980 Chinese nuclear test have been measured in samples of atmospheric particulate material which were collected on filter papers at Mauna Loa Laboratory, Hawaii and high altitudes over the northern United States. The detonation date and the type of device used were predicted from the activity ratios of 95Zr/99Nb, 141Ce/144Ce, 95Zr/144Ce and 95Zr/141Ce. The explosion date predicted assuming that it was an 235U device ia Oct. 16±4, 1980, which is in very good agreement with the official date, Oct.16, 1980.
