                             Plumbbob, Boltzmann 
 
     The consecutive tests Boltzmann, Franklin and Lassen are being considered 
as one fallout "event" because the large depositions from Boltzmann precluded 
detection of fallout from the very small yields of Franklin and Lassen. However, 
a short discussion of the upper-air trajectories related to the test Franklin is 
provided in a separate section. 
 
Close-In Fallout 
 
     The distribution of measured Close-In Fallout (CIF) was very complex as 
shown in Fig. PB/la/X.  The heaviest pattern extended to the north-northwest 
beneath the north-northwestward initial movement of all three upper-air 
trajectories.  The broad area of light deposition northward into Eureka and 
White Pine Counties was not related to any upper-air trajectory.  The pattern 
within the first 160 km from the explosion site was characterized by discrete 
areas of high activity and strong activity gradients. Beyond 160 km, narrow 
"fingers" of stronger radioactivity extended into areas of low activity.  These 
spotty deposition characteristics very likely resulted from scavenging by 
thunderstorms and rain shower activity which was reported to be general over 
most of Nevada on the day of detonation (Steadman et al., 1983).   
 
     The relatively heavy fallout in the Reno, NV, to Marysville, CA, area (550 
km from the detonation site) most likely resulted from the 3.0 km trajectory 
that stagnated over the area for 1 1/2 days and the movement of the 9.1 km 
trajectory over the same area at the end of the first day after the explosion. 
 
Town Data Base 
 
     The Town Data Base (TDB) distribution of fallout (Fig. PB/la/TDB) generally 
followed the pattern of the CIF map of Fig. PB/1a/X.  However, TDB values were 
shown in northeast and southwest Nye County where no fallout was indicated in 
the CIF map.  In far northwest Nye Country, TDB values were about two times 
higher than those indicated on the CIF map.  Otherwise, the quantitative 
deposition correspondence was quite good between the two maps. 
 
County Data Base 
 
     The County Data Base depositions shown for test Boltzmann included any 
fallout from the succeeding tests Franklin and Lassen since all were combined 
into one event. 
 
     Nearly every county included in the Country Data Base (CDB) region received 
some deposition of radioactive iodine (I-131) fallout attributed to this 
moderately powerful test (Fig. PB/l/TCDB).  The heaviest depositions were north 
and northwest of NTS in Nevada, consistent with the early movement to the north, 
northwest and west of the three Boltzmann upper air trajectories. Most of the 
other areas that received lesser amounts of I-131 were beneath or adjacent to one 
or more of the upper air trajectories. The accumulated CDB fallout included that 
from the small test Franklin (2 June 1957).  Most likely debris from this test 
contributed to depositions in southeast California and southern Idaho over which 
one or both of the Franklin trajectories passed but the Boltzman trajectories 
avoided. 
 
     Since the CDB region was large enough to cover areas containing gummed film 
(GF) observation sites, the two independent sets of data were compared.  
Unfortunately, only eight GF sites existed in the CDB region.  The deposition 
values of about half of these agreed with the CDB values.  The non-conforming GF 
values were much smaller than the CDB values. 
 
Upper-Air Trajectories 
 
     All three trajectories moved to the north-northwest initially to central 
Nevada (Fig. PB/1a/T).  The 3.0 km trajectory detoured to the left and stalled 
over northern California for nearly two days then headed directly north to 
southern British Columbia near the end of the fifth day (1500 GMT, 1 June to 
1500 GMT, 2 June) after detonation.  The 6.1 km trajectory moved into eastern 
Oregon early on the second day (1500 GMT, 29 May to 1500 GMT, 30 May) and 
circled slowly in that area for the next two days.  The faster-moving 9.1 km 
trajectory made two counter-clockwise loops crossing southern California, and 
covering Utah and northern Texas and Oklahoma.  It moved eastward at high speed 
across northern Missouri leaving the U.S. over New Jersey at the end of the 
sixth day (1500 GMT, 2 June to 1500 GMT, 3 June).  Ground deposition of I-131 was 
widespread over the United States (Fig. PB/la/F) for test BOLTZMANN.  However, 
large areas had no GF collections stations and I-131 likely deposited there. 
 
     Light, wet fallout appeared in southwest Idaho on the first day, near the 
6.1 km trajectory, and again on the third day after detonation.  Radioactivity 
most likely was deposited in areas beneath the stagnant trajectories in Nevada, 
northern California and Utah where no gummed film collectors were deployed.  
Widely scattered wet and dry fallout occurred west of the Mississippi River on 
the third through the sixth days, most not associated with the trajectories.  
Some depositions were heavy and were the result of precipitation. 
 
     Light to heavy wet depositions fell on the seventh (1200 GMT, 3 June to 
1200 GMT, 4 June) and eighth days mostly in the south and southeastern U.S.  
Scattered light amounts, wet and dry, were deposited on the ninth (1500 GMT, 5 
June to 1500 GMT, 6 June) and tenth days.  Depositions ceased thereafter.

Close-In Fallout 
 
 
     No Close-In Fallout data have been located for this test. 
 
Town Data Base 
 
     No Town Data Base estimates were made for this test. 
 
County Data Base 
 
     Any County Data Base depositions from test Franklin were included in the 
County Data Base map of test Boltzmann (Fig. PB/1/TCDB). 
 
Upper-air Trajectories 
 
     Both the 3.0 and 4.9 km trajectories started very slowly to the north and 
curved sharply to the right into west-central Utah (Fig. PB/1b/T).  The 4.9 km 
trajectory continued turning sharply to the right moving into northwest Arizona 
and southeast California on the second day (1200 GMT, 3 June to 1200 GMT, 
4 June).  Meanwhile, the 3.0 km trajectory curved to the north still in western 
Utah, then made a tight clockwise loop into southern Idaho.  The 4.9 km 
trajectory moved northwest then north in eastern California then ended in 
northwestern Nevada at the end of the third day after detonation. 
 
     The two trajectories came together in northwestern Wyoming, moving 
eastward, then headed east-southeast across Iowa and Ohio and departed the U.S. 
over Maryland at the end of the seventh day (1200 GMT, 8 June to 1200 GMT, 9 
June).  
 
     The deposition estimates derived from gummed film (GF) measurements for 
test Franklin were included in the estimates for test Boltzmann (Fig. 
PB/1/F).
