@miquelnotari But without dose rates, that graph is meaningless and misleading. -
@wellerstein@miquelnotari informative info here IAEA doc on Rad conditions at French test sites http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1215_web_new.pdf … -
@Casillic@wellerstein Other organizations like@nuclearban use the same information (page 3) in October 2014 http://www.icanw.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/AfricanPerspectivesFinal2.pdf … -
@miquelnotari@Casillic@nuclearban I have no doubt detectable radiation went beyond the test site, but w/out dose rates, it says nothing

@wellerstein So must ask... Is the scorched earth here still called trinitite or is there a generic term for later tests? -
@Casillic I don't know if there is a French term for it; the Soviets called theirs "Kharitonchik."https://twitter.com/wellerstein/status/599342570938982401 …
