Three studies of fallout measurements were reviewed for the discussion of possible radioactivity intake from the Hiroshima atomic bomb. The first study discussed correlations between enriched 234U and 137Cs specific activities from the measurement of soil samples collected in the “black rain” area. The second study measured 137Cs activity on the rock and roof tile samples collected in the hypocenter area immediately after the explosion. Some of the rock and roof tile samples collected near the hypocenter had a small but detectable amount of 137Cs activity. However, it has been determined that 137Cs exposure, for example, was negligible compared with DS86 dose estimates, since these activity levels were low. The third study detected 90Sr activity in some of the specimens of human bones exhumed on Ninoshima Island. This study compared the difference in activity between the bone head and shaft, with higher activities obtained in the bone head. This fact suggests a short intake period for this activity, however, the levels of 90Sr contamination were too low to allow a discussion of the exposure risks.

Background γ-ray spectra and 54Mn spectra were measured with a Ge detector in a low-background shielding using various inner linings; Lucite, Al, Fe, Cu and Pb. The experimental results show that the background counting rate in the energy region 0-500 keV and backscattered γ ray increase in a shielding with low Z linings, It can be qualitatively understood through a simple calculation considering the γ-ray absorption and scattering processes in the shielding material.
