U.S. Atlas of Nuclear Fallout Total Fallout, 1951-1962

From 1951 until 1962, the U. S. government carried out above-ground nuclear testing in southern Nevada. The mushroom clouds reached high into the atmosphere, and then traveled east across the rest of the United States. When these nuclear clouds met with rainstorms the result was significant fallout, often as far away as New York and Maine. This is the first book that shows exactly where the fallout came down. The 730 pages include 2D and 3D maps of fallout by both total fallout and specific radioisotope, and ranks each US county for fallout. If you are interested in the potential impact of nuclear testing on the environment, either in the past or in the future, this is essential reading. Includes 11 figures, 137 tables, 135 formulas, 166 2D maps and 94 3D maps showing where the nuclear fallout landed. The book shows the paths the nuclear clouds took after leaving the Nevada Test Site, and the more than 10,000 cities, towns and villages in the path of the clouds. The book also includes lists of each nuclear test's specific or unusual isotopes. Three-dimensional maps are used to show fallout and radioisotope levels in specific regions of the country, including the West, Midwest, South and East Coast.Miller, Richard L. is the author of 'U.S. Atlas of Nuclear Fallout Total Fallout, 1951-1962', published 2002 under ISBN 9781881043133 and ISBN 1881043134.
